When tasked with designing a modern home for a car collector in Austin, Texas, Matt Fajkus Architecture designed the jaw-dropping Autohaus residence that floats over a massive garage. The living quarters make up a cantilevered volume that rests atop one side of the garage’s volume.

By extending the second floor out 20 feet into the front yard, a covered carport was created underneath.

Large floor-to-ceiling windows are framed on the second floor creating a dramatic visual interest from the street.
A viewing gallery on the second floor lets people watch a car being worked on below or shows a car on display.

Large sliding glass and steel doors were custom made to allow uninterrupted access to the roof terrace.
