Garage Architect 17

Garage Architect improves technology of parking and security and door operation.

Our home architects accomplish this in ways that are concealed and subtle, ensuring that our trademark “Timeless Mountain Aesthetics” are preserved.  For instance, as a garage architect, we now specify the Laser Guided Parking Assist in our garages as an owner-optional upgrade.  Sounds like Star Trek, doesn’t it?  It is really rather simple as well as economical.  Each device retails from the manufacturer for about $24.  As a garage architect, we keep up to date on the latest features involved in what amounts to your personal entrance to your home.

The laser light has been pre-directed to a specific location on your dashboard, so that as you advance into your garage, the light harmlessly runs over your hood and on to the designated location, which you know is the proper spot at which to stop your vehicle.  Only well-informed garage architects know about such economical and highly functional features for your garage.

Garage Architect adds detail to standard garage doors turning them into something special.

Rand Soellner focuses attention on nearly every aspect of a fine home, constantly asking ourselves: “How can we make it even better?”  Our clients want the best; that’s why they hire us to design their homes.  So, not being content with a better way to park your car, we looked at other features of this process as well.  Are we a garage architect?  Yes.  Are we also fine luxury residential architects?  Yes.  The reason we have created this one page focused on our role as a garage architect, is that is gives us the opportunity to shine a light on this important aspect of your custom house: your entry.  After all, this is really Your front door; the place through which you must travel in your vehicle to enter your home.  It seemed worthy of a little attention, and so that we could share with you what we have been doing in this regard.  Some of our peers asked what are doing, publishing such a thing as garage architecture on our website.  We actually feel quite the opposite.  Nothing is beneath our attention, when it comes to luxury residential design.  We want everything to function as well as it possibly can.  Heck, we may even do another webpage on driveways or utility courts, or crawlspaces or front porches!  Why not?  Every aspect of a home should be thoroughly understood and properly designed.  For instance, in bygone centuries, many architects didn’t spend much time on the kitchen designs for their client homes, because this was a place where servants were deemed to work.  Well, hasn’t that changed now days?  Kitchen are the heart of the home.  We certainly devote a lot of time and attention to making these wonderful social hubs and functional epicurian places.  But that’s a subject for another webpage.  Back to the garage architect and what he does for you…

  

Another example of Rand Soellner Architect's decorative treatments to garage doors.  All of Soellner's garage doors are motorized and are operated from your vehicle's remote control button, and roll upward to the garage ceiling.  The appearance that these doors are side hinged from a previous historic era are simply the result of the architect's design.

Garage architect plans for a better garage door opener.

Continuing in our role as a garage architect: How about A Better Garage Door Opener.  Have you ever driven up to your home on a cold, rainy night and pushed your garage door opener to find that nothing happened and your power was out?  What an unpleasant situation.  Do you have your spare keys to your home’s front door?  What to do?  Well, we now specify, as an owner optional upgrade, a ¾ horsepower garage door opener with a standby emergency power supply.  It is also a new breed of belt-drive openers for smoother, quieter operation.  What a relief!  Your garage doors will always open now, regardless of what has happened to your home’s power source.  A garage architect should pay attention to such details.  Notice that we offer the upgrade to a ¾ HP motor, recognizing that garage doors to fine homes are often heavier, with nicely finished wood species like mahogany, with applied accent trims, which makes them harder to open with conventional door openers. 

We also specify electronic door access code openers, as a garage architect.  These devices change the code every time they are used, which thwarts criminals trying to gain access to your home, because, even if they have successfully recorded your electronic signals opening your door, the signal has changed!  Also, as a garage architect, we offer state of the art (and remarkably economical) fingerprint I.D. entry devices for your garage doors, so that no one having a series of combination numbers can get access into your home.  If their fingerprints don’t match those that you have recorded into the device, they can’t operate the door from that device.  Please give us a call to see how we can begin designing your dream home with garage architect features like this and many more, in our capacity as fine luxury residential designers.
