Glass Wall Garage

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

A recently-built home near us features a glass-walled garage on the second floor. The car is elevated and resides adjacent to the primary bedroom.


Second Floor: Lady's Wear, children's clothes, Porsche Panamera. (Note statue awaiting beheading on the lawn.)


Look. Don't Touch! However, you evidently can't access the car from the second floor.

    A more exclusive and worthy car to showcase couldn’t be found? Geeez. Rich people’s taste can be surprisingly poor. Or maybe they just ran out of money.

    Celadon, excactly, I would expect a brightly colored McLaren!

    Why faux-grass on the second floor?

    Worthy, no access from the second floor is probably a good idea ... I could see some teen messing with the car and accidentally driving it out the second floor windows!

    My dogs would pee on the fake grass area.


    and an odd car choice to be displayed, too - I mean - really....

    There is another car photo in the realtor listing... it's suitably orange and racy enough I hope, lol.

    I did see a bright exotic there one day.

    Damn if I can ID it! Not McLaren or Gallardo.

    Cheap car to be showcased like that!

    beesneeds, thanks for the listing. So many hard sharp edges in that house! The island is interesting!

    Reminds me of Cam's house in Ferris Bueller :)



    That house sat on the market for several years. article

    Well, it is one block away from the site of a disagreement between Chinese building partners that ended in the murder and dismemberment of one of them in 2018. Arrive in a Ferrari 348, leave in five body bags. Literally. (Neighbouring sewer lines were also vacuumed for any overlooked parts.)


    Murder Mansion

    But this spec modern (postmodern?) is evidently owned and built by young Iranian partners. So, completely different.

    I'm surprised they didn't enlarge the car's window sticker to mural size and display that, too.

    Hmm. How do they get the car up there to park?

    Love it! While it is a pretty niche thing to design (and make resale harder), something like this might be better invested in a car condo instead of residential

    Unlike some well known "sky garages", it lacks convenience. And if you're a car fancier, the lack of ready access is a pain. (Let alone think of the specialty window cleaner bills!)

    I think that particular feature will result in significant limitation of the buyers market when they go to sell it.

    Final followup: sold two days ago for C$6.450.m, down from the original listing price of C$7.999m.

    worthy- Thanks for the followup. While admittedly a more limited market because of the price category, eleven months to sell in that market may say something. I wonder if it would have sold closer to full price -- rather than 20% below asking -- if it didn't have that distracting glass garage feature.

    I think that orange Lambo was a Huracan EVO.

    Back in 1993 Harley Davidson was designing a standard prototype on their big franchisee push. It would include a revolving rack tower for display. For cost (and probably fire shaft) reasons it was reduced to an elevator on standard floors.
