When does a “garage” transcend its name? When it becomes a gallery housing a pristine collection of high-end sports cars, the term garage no longer applies. Such is the case with this remarkable space designed to store, protect, and most importantly, display an exquisite collection of Corvettes as works of art.
Commissioned specifically to showcase a personal Corvette collection, this 85-foot-long structure comfortably fits at least ten Corvettes, making it far more than an ordinary auto storage space. This isn’t an auto-shop—there are no tool benches or lifts here. Instead, a polished gallery floor reflects the beauty of each vehicle, turning the space into a refined exhibit hall for these prized machines.
Built with timeless materials like wood, steel, brick, stone, and plaster, the Callaway Corvette Gallery is elevated by the meticulous craftsmanship that brings each element together. A hand-cut mortise and tenon timber frame with a classic hammer-beam bent design creates a rhythmic pattern across the ceiling, with live valley rafters and gables extending from the front and sides. Steel strapping enhances and reinforces the pegged joinery, adding durability and a touch of modern flair, while masonry walls enclose the space in a rich, textured palette that complements its natural materials. The result is a high-class gallery that treats each car as a masterpiece, celebrating design and craftsmanship in both structure and display.
