I will start by outlining my requirements for the space. Seeing how the House is a little larger than the requirements set out by this assignment, I've decided to add one extra requirement, live work. The new minimum dwelling within the coach house will allow the occupant to work as well as live comfortably. Currently the houses primary occupant is a carpenter tooting around with a band saw and a couple hand planes, and originally I wanted to maintain a carpenters workspace. However, after examining the width of the house I've decided that it's not ideal for a carpenter. Also word working tends to generate a lot of dust, which doesn't lend to well with shared multi use living spaces. Instead I decided to make the Coach house designed for a modest motorcycle repair shop. Why motorcycles? Because there cool, and I've read a few motorcycle books lately, and I want a motorcycle.
The shop should be able accommodate a mechanic, and his tools and at least 1 motorcycle. I figure this program also works really well with the site, the house fronts right onto a street, it has a space for a car (or 3 motorcycles) to park in front of it. It also has an existing curb cut to access it, as well an awesome front door.
Here are a few shots I pulled from a really cool motorcycle shop in Denmark. I frequent Wrenchmonkees.com often just to drool over their latest creations.
