The design rocks!!!
-
I concur, this design takes the (parkitecture) CAKE.
-
High concept and great presentation, but this design is not a 1 car or a 2 car garage but it is a 3 car tandem garage. All the material and labor to build it will have been payed for after the final contractor's payment is made. I see no advantage in expanding the garage to accommodate 1 or 2 more cars for friends visiting for the winter holidays with a foot or more of snow and ice on and in the tracks.

You hit it on the head, great design!

designBLITZ[sf] has done it again. They are really rethinking the why we design and live in our environment. Check some of their stuff out, it rocks! http://designblitzsf.com/home.html

This is really the only feasible design
-
I see that the comments are the same for all entries - how's one supposed to know which comments apply to what? "This is really the only feasible design" shows up under all 20. Weird.
-
Good point, CG. Future commenters: please specify which of the twenty submissions you are referencing, so we know which project you are referring to. If you don't, we'll just assume you're talking about the winning design, the Nexus et2.

All the top 20 designs had great qualities but my vote would have been for Automobile Trough by Ed C. Herrera as it not only demonstrates green design, but also it is something uniquie and is multi-functional use were put into consideration. I would hate, HATE, to park my car in that tandem style garage of the winning design Nexus et2 by Chunsheh Teo as it would be a major headache to move all vehicles just to get to one of my cars. Trust me, I know that the judges would hate this garage the way it is designed if you actually owned it and had to move one car out to get to the other. The winner's design was inspired, yet it was not anything exciting or pleasing to the eye and -- not practical for anyone's personal garage use.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and awesome review on SalvAGE! We believe this is a feasible schematic design that when delivered with intuitive civil, mechanical, and landscape design development, can become a new standard for flood prone areas. On behalf of Paul E. Carson and Vox Studio Associates thank you for allowing us to dream slightly bigger and Sketchup a better car dwell with this sustainable contest! -Patrick Sullivan AAIA, LEED AP

Cool designs that are achievable... I like NexusEt2 and SalvAGE in particular.
-
SALVAGE? This certainly cannot be the crowd favorite...Not only is the design aesthetically silly because of the overabundant use of green technologies. But it's feasibility is undermined through its need to be site specific. While this design may work well in flood prone areas, it is completely useless in any sort of urban context.
-
Overabundant use of green is silly? BTW, coastal urban settings certainly flood and considering most of the planet's cities are near coastlines, I actually think those designers are on to something. Sure that Salvage concept needs site specific design considerations- but didn't they acknowledge that? Quit hating designs you didn't dream up and start thinking before dumping. Hey everyone, any other notable design projects?....I also liked the portability aspect and architectonics of the Crisic Station.
-
Yes, I like the winner Nexuset2, then SalvAGE, and Crisic Station. Hybrid Vigor is a cool application of material reuse with the car hoods (Rural Studio would be proud). Not sure how the connections work. It could be a good trap for a rainwater harvesting system and natural light source?
-
I agree with you John--Hybrid Vigor would be a clever lighting strategy for diffusing natural daylight and improving indoor quality.
-
nice ideas
-
Can anyone clarify what JBR means when he uses the word "architectonics"? I quite enjoyed Nexus, Urban Parking, and Hybrid Vigor; though most of the rest I actually found to be fairly unimaginative designs accompanied by dull imagery.
-
Very Impressive!
