The drive-under garage is an innovative solution for homes built on sloped or uneven terrain. By incorporating the garage into the lower level of the house, architects can take full advantage of the natural landscape without extensive landscaping or grading.
This type of garage is especially beneficial in urban areas where space is at a premium, as it allows for maximum utilization of the footprint of the house. Drive-under garages are connected directly to the basement or first floor, offering an accessible parking solution that can also double as a secure storage area. These garages typically feature large doors and ample space inside to accommodate vehicles, tools, and other storage needs.
They are also ideal for homeowners who prioritize privacy and security, as the garage doors are less visible from the street. Additionally, this configuration can help preserve the aesthetic appeal of the home’s façade by minimizing the visual impact of garage doors.
