Inside the world’s most stylish garage

If you own a garage, chances are it's a closet that just happens to be big enough to hold your car. Maybe you've dressed it up with a TV or couches; maybe it's a true workspace with the tools and grease as proof.

But no garage looks like this one, built by a Los Angeles designer and architect as the centerpiece of a stylish house overlooking the Pacific Ocean — with a Ferrari 512 BBi as its inspiration.

Holger Schubert spent several years and more than $1.5 million renovating his Los Angeles home around his Ferrari, surviving battles with zoning officials and upset neighbors who threatened to shut the project down. The result was a garage like no other in the world, with dramatic views and a minimalist approach that would make a penny on the floor feel like clutter.
