Garage is Graypants’ award-winning debut architectural project. Set as a residential
cabin, the building is a careful balance of preserving the memory of the existing
structure and repurposing the materials extracted from it.
Classical and modern elements have been merged to celebrate the beauty of everyday
interactions, such as entering through the solid Corian sliding speakeasy cabinet,
illuminating the stretched canvas walls with a mobile phone, revealing hidden beds
beneath wooden floor panels that fold into seating, and lighting the century-old wood
burning stove.
Garage aims to make design mysterious, making mundane
tasks of our lives into opportunities that create beauty through
joyful interaction. The new becoming a theatre to watch the old
before gradually fading away. This space isn’t about ordinary, it’s
about touching on boundaries of what is ordinary.
