Hello All, and thanks for stopping by again. Lone Wolf Drafting and Design is proud to announce the completion of the 1940's style garage, developed in conjunction with GarageMahals, LLC of Scottsdale, Arizona. We started this project about 8 months ago with a concept of designing a garage themed around a 1940's era setting. We included a large 1940's style gas station awning, complete with original gas pumps from gas stations that have long since been out of business. We also developed custom flooring and cabinetry for the entire space. On the garage door side, we originally created several bridge truss style columns that supported a curved cowling that was placed at ceiling height. In between each column, we added a curved arch facade to the rough openings for the garage doors. The doors themselves were wrapped in a 1940's image of New York City. The overall effect was the viewer looking under a bridge toward the New York City skyline.
As the project progressed, some changes were made, and new renderings were created. The back half of the garage basically stayed the same, but the door side received a new column concept. We designed an Art Deco style airfoil concept for the new design. These new columns, wrapped in brushed silver with translucent panels, still support the stainless steel cowling above. The garage door arches remained the same, and at the time, so did the New York City graphic. As construction began, the graphic changed to that of an airfield. Below are the renders of the original concept, the new column concept, and the actual photos of the complete garage.
As always, comments and suggestions are appreciated.

massive exhibit halls. Just about every facet of the building and design industry was represented, with firms from all over the country and around the world. I was able to use this event to network, and share my photo rendering skills with a whole new market that went way beyond the typical home shows here in Phoenix. In a dying economy, any business should take any opportunity to get in front of potential new clients in anyway possible. This convention was different from local shows simply because those who had booths were not above talking to people like me that simply went from booth to booth talking to exhibitors. In the case of smaller shows, most exhibitors want nothing to do with you if you are trying to sell something to them. For some reason, they look at you as a 
"freeloader" because you dont have a booth, as opposed to viewing it as a marketing and network opportunity. That was not the case Las Vegas - everyone was happy to take time to speak to you, and view your product for its merit, regardless if you had a booth or not. I would highly recommend this event to anyone in the building and design trade as there is much to see, and it really is a great networking opportunity. The next show is tentatively set for January 19 - 22, 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
