Aircraft hangar on the shore of Lake Harney in Florida was converted into a residential house with hidden garage door.
The goal was to take what could have been an ugly facade and make it more neighborhood friendly.
The lawn in front of the house is actually the taxiway for the airplanes.

That’s pretty wild. Very creative. It must take a pretty hefty mechanism to open it; hydraulic, maybe? Also loads of fun for people sitting on the front porch drinking beer… XD

I’m pretty sure people would see the tire tracks over the grass with time. But this is Toxel, and practical ideas are much forbidden. :)

This is awesome, and a much more aesthetically pleasing than a boring, plain warehouse. And tire tracks leading up to the house would totally confuse people. it would be great!

I found this post and realize its almost a year old, but
Since you asked.
Why…its an airplane hangar.
Tire Tracks… Its 3 years old…you see any?
Waste of money…its my money, do you judge how everyone spends their money?
Takes forever to open..from full closed I can drive out in 16 seconds..I got the time. By the time I push the remote, walk to the truck, get in and buckle my seat belt, it doesn’t seem like all that long.
Vinyl Siding…its a steel building.
