Hockaday New Garage Project

This Dallas, TX new garage client came to us with a backyard eyesore!  After we renovated another home for them a few years ago, they chose us to build a new Dallas, TX garage for them.  Their old structure had a covered area and storage closet, but was old and in need of repair. They felt it was too open, unsecured, poorly lit, and the driveway had cracking concrete.  We knew we had to demolish the sad carport and start completely over! Their desire was to have a secure garage re-built that would match their existing home built in 1964. The new garage would need to incorporate into their outdoor backyard space and be a pleasing structure to look at from the pool and patio area.  Per our homeowner’s request, we designed the garage to remain detached from the main home with a covered breeze way in between the structures.  We were challenged to preserve a large old live oak that provides shade for the majority of their backyard, and an arborist was brought in to evaluate the tree and make recommendations about building the new garage close to the tree.  A creative solution was found when we designed the foundation of the garage to allow the tree to remain.  We even carved out a place in the roof for one of the main branches of the tree!  Due to the age of this home, there was no leftover brick available, however we found reclaimed brick for an exact match!  We also matched the exterior doors and windows so the new garage blends seamlessly with the 1960’s home.  This award winning design and build new garage in Dallas, TX has truly finished off this home’s backyard and our clients couldn’t be happier with the result!
