Nice! Looks Danish :^D Scandinavians have a building style. Straightforward and austere. Seems to share a philosophy with the Japanese.

We are very happy; the old garage was rotten to the core and was valued 0 DKK when we bought the house.
You turned an old space into a new space that works for you and I really like that.

That's what they're normally suppose to be for, but most of the time they turn into storage. I have a very small garage, couldn't even fit my truck in there if I wanted to. Converting it to a shop for misc projects like woodworking etc. Hopefully do that this summer... every year I tell myself I want to do it then get side tracked. My focus has been more on the off grid property, but having a usable shop to use in winter would be nice.

You converted a garage to a "shop".

Biostud built a storage shop, not a garage.

How much does something like that cost there? Is it one or two levels? Did you already have water and electric running into there?

Everything was done by professionals, so including taxes (25%) around $72,000

Two levels and the wooden deck, and they also took down the old one.
Yeah there's already water and electricity.

We also still have to get some new tiles around it, and make the ramp and some ventilation, so probably still $6000 more to spend.

I have a "3 car storage shed." Even if it wasn't filled to the brim with junk...I couldn't fit my truck in it anyway...it's almost 3' too long.
Our car is too big too, but we had use a room in our house for storage, but as we had our 4th child it was time to get rid of the old sh*t shed and get something we could be happy with for the years to come.

4 kids? Are you daft? Did you ever figure out what caused that? I hope you put an immediate stop to it!

I like the lights and epoxy flooring. Missing a car though.
We actually decided just to use regular floor/concrete paint as we didn't need the durability of epoxy, as it is only for storage/bikes. It saved us cost and time as the floor otherwise first could have been done here in spring. My wife did the painting.

What sort of siding did you use? It's clearly sheet goods and some kind of T&G, but it looks very smooth in the pictures.

I don't know what it's called but it's some kind of pre-painted mdf boards which should be very weather resistant. Below there are these plates and 150mm Rockwool for isolation.

I checked out the Swissperal website, looks like it's much the same as the Hardipanel we get in the U.S. It's cement and fiber, far superior to any MDF product.

I like it, nice little workshop area, and lots of storage. When your 4 girls start their own band, they can take over a floor of your garage for their band practice/instruments!

Yeah, we are very happy about the company, and the good thing about living in a small community is that it is easy to get references on which companies to use.

A shop is handy as a zipper. My 430sf garage is already pretty much at the limit with tools and equipment. 90% of our storage is in the walk in attic and under the stairs.
