Working with The Basement Design Studio and Wohr, AUTOCAVE were able to create a storage shell to house the custom, innovative car stacking system, comprised of one double width lift, designed to house four vehicles, and one single width lift accommodating a further two vehicles. This was completed with electrical vehicle charging points.

The primary function of this was to enable the client to securely store their collection of rare cars out of sight and under their driveway, providing them more space (above ground) to park their everyday cars, as well as the peace of mind that their collection is safe and secure in a subterranean lockbox.

The Client approached Knowles, and through our regular partners of AUTOCAVE, The Basement Design Studio (Architects on the project) Knowles design and built this 600 sq/ft space. The project was completed with the installation of the 6 car stackers lift and its associated hydraulics as well as hard landscaping. The project was completed earlier this year over a 35-week programme.
