MASERATI & DESIGN DRIVEN: SEARCH FOR THE FINEST ARCHITECTURAL GARAGES.



Recently, Maserati hosted a design competition called Design Driven-Maserati’s Search for the Finest Architectural Garages, and allowed for open entries in two categories: existing garage and concept garage. Be sure to feast your eyes on some of the schemes drawn up for the concept garages; however, it’s the existing garage winner that is truly moving. Holger Schubert of Los Angeles found the best way to house his Maserati, and claims he designed his garage with two objectives in mind: “to create a pure and restrained minimalist environment that allows one to focus on the car as a piece of art and to create the ultimate experience for the driver to arrive at home.” We couldn’t have said it any better ourselves. While the car is obviously the centerpiece here, the slide-away LCD TV, in-wall bookshelf, and fundamental furniture keep the ambience free of distractions and manage to make seperating one’s self from a Maserati a surprisingly rewarding experience.
