Garage / Workshop Building PlanningThe garage/workshop is the first major construction we will be undertaking on our farm. It will be up on the upper pasture, relatively close to our future home site. Since this will also house our workshop, this is really our main big priority for building. Building other structures on-site will be much easier once this is constructed. Also, this will house the first plumbing on our site, which will definitely make it more convenient to be working on site, allowing access to running toilets and showers. FunctionalityThe garage/workshop will include several seperate rooms which will accomodate many of our on-farm needs:
In addition, it is planned as the entry point for electricity and internet to our property and will work as a hub for those networks/grids. As such, the solar panel farm will be behind the garage workshop and feed power into the electric closet of the garage/workshop. Planning ProcessWe began working on a potential design early this year and on April 10th, we started working with an architect. Below are some of the preliminary designs that went back and forth.
