Northern Block Makarau
A garage built with precision — down to the millimeter.
Location: Makarau
Project: Construction of a 3.7 m-high specialised garage for heavy equipment and vehicle lifts, fully integrated with an existing residential house.
The task:
— Build a garage that handles heavy structural loads
— Prepare for the installation of lifting equipment
— Ensure accurate connection with the existing house
— Align the new roof geometry with the original roofline
— Pour a slab foundation strong enough for heavy-duty use
Challenges:
— Required a reinforced foundation specifically designed for hoists supporting heavy machinery
— Height exceeds standard structures (3.7 m)
— Tight tolerances to connect seamlessly with the existing structure
— Uneven land for driveway access (still to be resolved)
Solutions:
— A reinforced concrete slab was engineered and poured with embedded anchor points
— Timber framing and roof trusses built with precision to match existing angles
— Seamless integration layout with the existing house
