Inventory Accommodation

Just like residential property or other forms of real estate, luxury vehicles are high-value investment assets. As an extension of this principle, they should remain protected from outdoor elements and other hazards.

As many affluent homeowners own multiple vehicles, a modern garage must be capable of adequately accommodating their collection. Exact size and infrastructure requirements will vary based on the needs of the homeowner, however, an optimal contemporary garage will at minimum be able to hold more than only a single vehicle at a time. 

In addition to automobiles, a homeowner may wish to store or keep recreational vehicles within their garage, such as an ATV, ORV, or watercraft. In these instances, a homeowner may consider expanding or modifying key components of the garage’s infrastructure to ensure adequate accommodation.

Contemporary Cabinetry 

Storage is a fundamental component of any well-designed garage. Given the pragmatic and functional intentions of a home garage, the space must be equipped to hold a vast collection of equipment, tools, appliances, and other assets. 

For modern luxury garages, custom, space-tailored cabinetry makes an exceptional storage solution. This permits homeowners to reflect leading design trends without sacrificing practicality. 

Beyond the standard utilities and equipment typically housed within, cabinetry may also be utilized to conceal other home devices that may be stationed in the garage. For instance, overflow appliances such as refrigerators or freezers may be built-in to custom cabinet works. This concealing allows you to maintain a cohesive, sleek atmosphere within the space. 

Electric Vehicle Ports

Evolving consumer tastes in the high-end automobile industry have contributed to the increased prominence of electric vehicle ownership. For owners of upscale electric vehicles, the convenience of an in-home charging port is simply indispensable. 

Rather than queueing and spending time charging at a public station, at-home ports allow owners the convenience of relaxing in the comfort of their property. In addition to the unparalleled degree of ease, private charging facilities allow electric vehicle operators to sidestep potential challenges related to energy supply.

Electric vehicle ports naturally reduce reliance on fossil fuels – proving a forward-thinking safety net for future supply chain issues or other disruptions.

Temperature-Controlled Driveway

Stepping outside of the garage, a heated or temperature-controlled driveway represents the epitome of modern home technologies. This innovative feature provides a labour-free solution to the accumulation of snow or ice on one’s driveway – ensuring a safe, reliable path of access to and from the garage in all seasons. This feature is particularly idyllic in Toronto, a city whose winter climate can be rather unforgiving.   

Some homeowners may outsource certain aspects of property maintenance – such as snow removal. However, in instances of extreme or adverse weather, labour constraints, service cancellations, or other issues, a heated driveway ensures vehicles are able to safely access the garage without disruption. 

Beyond the value of simply accessing the garage, maintaining a clear, snow-free driveway can enhance a property’s aesthetic appeal. With the incorporation of this technology, homeowners can ensure their home boasts a refined appearance year-round. 

Similar to electric vehicle charging ports, temperature-controlled driveways offer distinctive advantages pertaining to eco-luxury. As they eliminate the necessity of traditional ice-melting methods, which often entail the usage of strident and harmful chemicals, heated driveway systems minimize environmental disruption.
