The Gable
Bespoke Gabled Car GarageA timeless pitched-roof garage combining traditional proportions with modern steel-frame construction, generous internal space and a finish designed to complement the property around it.
Traditional Proportions Without a Traditional Garage Feel.
The Gable takes the familiar pitched-roof form and turns it into a properly considered home for cherished cars.
It works especially well where a flat or highly contemporary building might feel out of place, including rural properties, larger country homes and more traditional residential settings.
The exterior can be finished in modern metal cladding, timber-effect materials or a combination of finishes designed to sit comfortably alongside the existing property.
A Flexible Design for Homes and Collections
The pitched-roof form gives The Gable a broad range of uses and opens up several options internally.
Rural Properties
A strong choice where the garage needs to sit naturally beside a farmhouse, country home or larger plot.
Classic Cars
A timeless architectural style well matched to classic and heritage vehicles.
Collector Garages
Larger versions can provide space for several cars, storage and workshop facilities.
Garage + Mezzanine
The roof form may allow scope for storage, office, display or mezzanine-style space where appropriate.
Familiar From the Outside. Completely Bespoke Inside.
The pitched roof gives The Gable a familiar residential form, but the steel-frame structure allows the internal space to be planned much more freely than a conventional garage.
Larger door openings, open spans, higher internal ceilings and specialist equipment can all be considered at design stage.
Why Choose a Gabled Garage?
Easier to Integrate With Traditional Homes
A gabled structure can often feel more appropriate beside period homes, country properties and houses where a very contemporary flat-roof design may appear too stark.
Additional Height and Volume
The pitched roof can provide valuable additional internal volume, opening possibilities for taller vehicles, storage, lighting features or selected mezzanine arrangements.
One Car, Two Cars or an Entire Collection.
The Gable is not restricted to a fixed footprint. The size can be developed around vehicle dimensions, door positions, internal circulation, storage and workshop requirements.
Planning sufficient space around the vehicles is particularly important for wider classic and prestige cars where standard garage dimensions can feel unnecessarily cramped.
Read the Garage Size Guide →Dimensions and structural options are assessed individually according to site, planning and project specification.
