The garage doors of this Cholla Heights, Ariz., mountainside custom home are an essential part of the exterior elevation and really complement the overall architectural design. Constructed of metal and glass, the doors reflect the home’s clean, contemporary lines.
The signature design feature of this custom home in Paradise Valley, Ariz., can hardly be labeled a “garage.” Conceived and constructed with the automobile enthusiast in mind, this over-the-top amenity, known as the “Car Bar,” includes a hydraulic lift that lowers the homeowner’s collector cars into a basement “showroom,” complete with floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
The Car Bar’s generous size can accommodate up to five cars, with room for three more in the main-level garage. Adjacent to the Car Bar, a theater, wet bar with wine wall, lounge seating area, and poker table complete this incredible display garage and entertainment space.
