Designer + Builder Ramsin Khachi of Khachi Design + Build undertook the construction of a stunning two-car garage with adjoining storage space. Featured on CTV's Marilyn Denis Show and in an episode of the “Bespoke in the Burbs” YouTube series, this project aimed to design a highly functional and well-organized space that would be a natural, seamless extension of the house.

The designer decided to maximize storage in the adjoining room by installing shelves, hooks and storage bins to hold all the everyday and off-season items that would normally clutter a garage. Taking organization to another level, Ramsin Khachi also designed large built-in cabinets and drawers on the main garage's back wall, creating even more storage space. For a clean, modern look that matches the sand epoxy floor, the designer chose FENIX^® Grigio Londra (J0718) to cover the cabinets’ exterior surface. The cabinet door interiors were covered with Formica^® brand Black Magnetic Chalkboard laminate (#M2253) so that users can leave notes on them while still being able to store tools and other metal equipment, thanks to the surface’s magnetic side.

A large, durable work area, perfect for working on everyday DIY projects, was also fitted under the cabinets. This surface was covered with FENIX^® Piombo Doha (J2630, discontinued), which features a distinctive speckled pattern that complements the solid tone grey cabinets.

Innovative FENIX^® materials were chosen for this project, both for their appearance and durability. “FENIX^® is an extremely high-performance surface that allows me, as a designer, to achieve all the functionality I need in such a space, while delivering considerable aesthetic value,” says designer Ramsin Khachi.

Their extremely matte effect complements this luxury garage’s sleek, modern design, and their durability makes FENIX^® the material of choice in a space where surfaces need to be cleaned regularly. Furthermore, the product's ability to thermally repair surface micro-scratches guarantees its long-term durability.

“My goal is to render a space for its ultimate purpose. The materials I use in my designs are vital components in creating the perfect environment where function and form work in equal accord to deliver a space that truly serves its purpose in every way,” says designer Ramsin Khachi.
