Never seen a pic from that angle before……Hard to believe it dates from 1953…….it has aged well……..must be a b to heat in the wintertime though……
The pavilion was built in ’73.
Now that’s a garage !
However, this one shows a lot of promise: http://www.9kracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Best-Garage-Designs.jpg
Couldn’t resist…..http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=ferris+beueller+car+crash&docid=608042269774971490&mid=E69FE018DB607866C7A9E69FE018DB607866C7A9&view=detail&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=E69FE018DB607866C7A9E69FE018DB607866C7A9
Cars are just dirty machinery and don’t deserve housing; only some nominal covering to avoid snow and rain. Every architect I know have separated the garage from the main residence, and it’s to isolate the stench of cars from the living quarters… in the houses they design for themselves and family. Of course, all their houses are minimalist and not really suitable for women and children.
Modern minimalist houses are known as “male” houses; while heavily gabled gingerbread houses filled with knicknacks and fancy curtains and ornate fireplaces are “female” houses… no kidding.
Ferris was an asshole, and a user. Tormented guy should have found a new best friend.
I want the car. I want the garage. Then I’d turn the garage into my house, the car, it can have half the house.
Kids would love a “tree fort” like that! Lots of room to play and watch the water.
