Luxury Garage Additions & Carriage Houses

Attached, detached, or integrated storage with clean elevations, smart layout, and durability for Minnesota seasons.

How We Build

Garage and carriage-house projects succeed when architecture, structure, and utility planning are handled together. We design for daily function and long-term durability so the new space feels integrated with the home.

  • Drive approach, door placement, and storage workflow mapped before permitting
  • Structural design coordinated for clear spans, lifts, or upper-level ADU loads
  • Electrical, heating, and ventilation planned for year-round Minnesota use
  • Exterior detailing matched to existing rooflines, siding, and trim language
Residential finish details showcasing craftsmanship

Function first. Architecture always.

We design garages to feel intentional: elevations that match the home, door placement that makes daily use easy, and interiors that store what you actually own.

We also build detached garages with ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) above for home offices, guest suites, or rental income potential in Minneapolis and the West Metro. Early planning covers structure, utility routing, and access so the ADU scope performs as a true living space instead of a retrofit compromise.

  • Detached and attached garages
  • Storage walls, workshop zones, and clean organization
  • Weather-ready detailing and durable finishes

Communication that stays clean

For active projects, our Client Portal keeps documents, approvals, and updates centralized-so nothing gets lost in texts or emails.

Garage Planning Beyond Square Footage

Garage projects are most successful when structural, access, storage, and utility decisions are coordinated before build start. We define circulation, door placement, and systems integration early so the finished space works for daily life and long-term ownership.

That upfront work also supports future flexibility, whether you need additional storage, hobby workspace, mudroom transitions, or improved winter vehicle access. Small layout choices made early can prevent expensive retrofits later.

  • Attachment and structure strategy aligned to the existing home
  • Storage and work-zone planning based on real household use
  • Durable material choices for high-wear, all-season conditions
  • Permit-aware sequencing to reduce avoidable delays

Planning first is the best way to keep garage scope predictable and integrated with broader renovation goals.

If your garage scope is tied to an addition or whole-home phase, we recommend sequence mapping before permits are submitted.

Garage Planning FAQ

What should be planned first in a garage project?

Structure, access flow, storage strategy, and utility coordination should be planned before finish decisions so the garage works for real daily use.

Can a new garage be integrated with existing home architecture?

Yes. We coordinate rooflines, exterior transitions, and detailing so the garage reads as part of the home rather than a disconnected add-on.

Do garage projects benefit from permit-aware sequencing?

Absolutely. Permit-aware sequencing and milestone planning reduce avoidable delays and improve budget predictability.
