ABOUT
Garage Recess is an independent editorial platform exploring and celebrating garages, the people behind them, and the culture they create.
We believe the garage is more than a place to park a car. It’s where ideas take shape. Where collections live. Where craftsmanship, design, and personal expression converge. Behind the garage door, function meets obsession and everyday space becomes something intentional.
Garage Recess was built to document that world.
A Space Designed With Purpose
From purpose-built automotive sanctuaries to modest workshops, we highlight spaces shaped by care, creativity, and conviction. We tell the stories of garages through the people who inhabit them and through the products and brands that help bring those spaces to life.
Our focus is not volume. It is intention. Personality.
Where Architecture Meets Culture
For us, the garage sits at the intersection of architecture and lifestyle.
Integrated thoughtfully into the home, the garage becomes an extension of the built environment — a space where lighting, materials, layout, and proportion matter as much as performance. We are drawn to garages that reflect architectural clarity and design intelligence, whether attached to a contemporary residence, embedded in a rural outbuilding, or reimagined within an industrial structure.
Form & Function Till Death
Curation with conviction; we evaluate what belongs through the lens of design integrity, durability, and cultural alignment. An appearance on Garage Recess is not transactional, it reflects deeply intertwined fit.

Culture Beyond the Car
While automotive passion often sits at the heart of many garages, the space extends far beyond it.
We celebrate woodworking shops, creative studios, fitness setups, restoration bays, design-forward storage systems, and the quiet rituals that unfold within them. The garage can be a sanctuary, a studio, a workshop, or a social space, often all at once.
What matters is the intention behind it.
