Polish architectural firm Robert Konieczny – KWK Promes has designed a house called the ‘Autofamily House’ which was to be built in 2012.06_fot.-olo-studio_autofamily-house_

“Autofamily house represents a new way of thinking about the entrance area in a suburban residence. We usually enter the house by a car, using the garage integrated in main solid. The main entrance is rarely used. Nowadays the cars are becoming cleaner and more eco-friendly, hence the idea emerged to include the garage into the representative entrance area” says architect Robert Konieczny.

This design connected the entrance and the second storey by a unique drive though ramp and tunnel where some of the clients art is on display.

The underlying concept is pretty cool, but I personally think we could alter this in a way that the art becomes cars, and in turn could change this into one very cool drive in and though car collectors garage.10_fot.-olo-studio_autofamily-house_

It started at a young age with bedroom posters, the Countach of course. This slowly grew into a super car die-cast model collection, fifty five 1:18 models at the last count. At which point it had almost taken full control, the incurable Mad Car Disease ran deep though my veins all the way to the bone. And things for my loved ones just got worse as the cars where now being bought at 1:1 scale, after a BMW, HSV, and couple of Audi's, the disease reached my brain, pushing me over the edge and down the rabbits hole into the world of the bedroom poster.

  1. If this was a car guys house the entry would be flat, not a cobbled slope and would end in a large clean work space with wall insert tool cupboards and a hoist.
    Also all the art on those walls would be prints of old F1 posters.

    It’s certainly a nice house and I would not turn it down but it is far from an auto enthusiasts dream home. Too much home not enough garage.
