Home is where people go to lay their heads to rest at night, but it’s not always the place they go to follow their passionate pursuits. Whether those pursuits are centered around a hands-on trade, a collection-based hobby or an active outdoor lifestyle with lots of equipment and toys, the unifying factor is that most free-time lifestyle activities require space. Garages and workshops make it easier to keep the things people love close to the vest—or at least close enough for them to make the most of their hobbies without adding miles and distance to the way they organize their lives. When constructed with an unbending dedication to structural longevity and fine attention to detail, garages and workshops make for smart investments that will add to the value of any property. Further, they’ll allow for the homeowners and successive generations to pursue their interests more fully.
