Garages are the last spaces to be associated with remodeling or home design. They are usually doomed to park the car and to collect unwanted clutter. However, those are perfect little spaces to create extra efficient storage, organize garden and sports tools, or to serve as craft shops. Having a functional garage is a must in a modern home. Having a cool designed garage is a plus!

Arcbazar, a Cambridge based start-up company offers homeowners the ability to create such spaces with the click of a mouse button. Projects are launched online through an open competition to a community of designers worldwide to offer customized design concepts that suit clients needs. “We want to give homeowners the access to creative, affordable and exciting design”, says Ana Batista, co-founder of Arcbazar.com. “Our projects range from small home renovations, to landscape or commercial spaces. We can help design a beautiful kitchen or a beautiful restaurant. Our clients are always happy to see creative solutions and different design languages they had never anticipated.”

Gordon I., a homeowner from Las Vegas wanted to have a “modern/contemporary garage that accents my classic muscle car, a blue 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass and has some good storage space.” After running a competition at Arcbazar, Gordon received 13 design concepts for a modern and functional garage renovation, ultimately opting for a design proposal from DATE 3D-Architectural, a design firm in Italy.

To have access to great worldwide designers at affordable cost is an extraordinary concept and opportunity.
