Background
The owners of this house in Lutherville brought to American Contracting an interesting problem. Could we create a custom garage to accommodate their Lamborghini Gallardo sports car? And, can the space also provide storage facilities for the many records necessary to be kept for the owner’s business?
The project was further complicated by the site. The yard was relatively small and the owners had been suffering from a drainage problem for years in the very corner of the yard that would accommodate the new garage.

Solutions
With the help of the co-owners of American Contracting and the architecture firm of Arch Tech Design, LLC a garage plan was created that not only fit the car but also eliminated the drainage issue that had plagued the owners for years. Meticulous measurements were taken of the car (see the before pictures) to insure the owners could easily open both car doors comfortably when in the garage. Careful planning for the driveway and security fence was also required.
Principals

BenefitsThe owners now have a comfortable and secure place to house their Lamborghini. With the slightly wider than average width of a one car garage, we provided ample space to do maintenance jobs on the car with ease. American also created a more heavy duty floor in the attic space of the garage so that the many company records can be easily and safely stored. The driveway was created by Stampcrete of Maryland, Inc. providing a beautiful entry from the street.
