Carriage House Garages

In the middle of the 1800s (19^th Century), the population in Britain turned a new corner in its history. For the first time in its history, more people in Britain were living in the new cities than there were living outside the cities (according to the 1851 countrywide census). A similar landmark moment appeared in 2007, when, globally, it became apparent that there were more people living in the world’s cities that there were living outside of them in rural communities. 

This may seem insignificant, but the growth of cities across the world has created a massive shift in the way people live and interact with each other. One of factors affecting the change is the fact that people in cities live so close to each other. Originally, the first cities comprised of over-sized towns, with row upon row of terraced houses being built. Nowadays however, architects are turning to the sky for space when they build houses; the newest cities around the world are being built with skyscrapers that are mostly living accommodation. The benefit of this is that you can more people living in a very small ground area, but it still has negative implications. For example, one implication that seems to go unnoticed frequently is the inability to have a garage for most people nowadays. Many people no longer have the space to park their car on the road, let alone in a part of their own home!

Perhaps more surprisingly, some people even waste their garages, turning them into a dumping ground for unwanted items. Treasure it, fewer people are having garages than ever! However, if you’re looking to give your garage a redesign, why not turn to John William Stables, a timber construction specialist that can construct a new garage built almost entirely from high quality timber. 

The carriage housegarages that they offer are especially awesome, as they encompass a traditional carriage house with a garage. The result of this is a space large enough to park a car in, but with one end opened up, so that the car is still visible and accessible, but also protected from the elements. The carriage house garage you buy can be built to one of their own carriage house garage ranges, or to one of your own designs, giving you the opportunity to create your own personal garage that is unique to yourself. 

In their carriage house garage range, there are two categories. The Ideal category range covers the most popular timber buildings, designed with attractive, practical and robust features. The elite categoryrange is a much more prestigious range, and is concerned with the aesthetics of a beautiful timber framed building too.
