Should I Design My Custom Home With The Garage On The Right Or Left?
Garage left or right on the front elevation and does it matter? It sure does! First impressions are always a big deal and you only have one chance for a great first impression. Imagine your guests are arriving for your house warming party, they stop at the gatehouse and the security guard provides directions to your home. Your house guests wind their way through the maze of streets and finally arrive at your address. The very first view of your home they see is your garage.
A home that is presented correctly on a building lot has the pocket of the home positioned toward the entrance of the community so your home shows in the most attractive manner. This may not sound like a big deal and it may not be important to you but when you sell your home you want it to be presented in a way that maximizes your selling price.
The pocket of the home is the intersection of the front wall of the home and the garage side wall. This view presents the landscaping and the front entrance of the home in the most favorable light.
So when you are designing your home, make sure you tell the Architect from which direction traffic will be approaching your home. Make sure “the pocket” of your home is positioned so this is the first view people see of your home.
Have an awesome day!
