I love good design – in cars and in houses, technology and more. As part of that, one of the websites I check out often is Architectural Digest where a lot of unique and innovative designs are featured. What does that have to do with automobiles you might say?
Well, earlier this year Maserati and Architectural Digest announced a partnership to showcase the best in garage design – highlighting an area not usually focused on in the design world. What an unique and innovative idea, huh? Linking architecture with Maserati through the garage that they’re parked in.
Entrants could be existing garages or concept garages – with a winner to be chosen in each category. About 125 entries were submitted, and the results are pretty amazing! “Our goal has been to open a conversation with those who place a premium on design and expose them to the unique qualities of Maserati,” says Mark McNabb, President and CEO of Maserati North America. Enjoy!
The winner for the already constructed garage contest is a “garage” in name only, where the car (in this case a Maserati and Ferrari) can be parked in a house-like setting(and a very nice house at that). I’ve posted images of both garages below. All the other entries submitted that didn’t get selected can be viewed at Design Driven. Enjoy!
Not a big fan of the car in the house. Image hitting a skunk or other animals and then pulling the car in next to your baby…Garage should be outside.
That is so cool. There’s a part of me that says the car would have to be immaculately clean, but then again, a mud-covered rally car would be an excellent addition to the décor of any modern living room.
I have a friend out east who’s parents had their roof cut open and a Model A lowered into the house at the top of the stairs. It will never leave it’s spot, but makes a great piece of antique art for their fine, southern home. (They also sort of collect muscle cars.)
Wow, a living room/garage with a Fezza or Mas. That’s almost too nice to own, I just want to be friends with that guy.
