A dream garage becomes reality

When Carolina and Erik, together with their children Casper and Hannes, built their new house in Alvesta, right next to a ski slope, they had a clear vision: to create a garage that both simplifies everyday life and reflects the family’s active lifestyle. Through a competition organised by Elfa and garage door manufacturer Hörmann, they had the opportunity to realise that vision - with the Garage+ storage system from Elfa and a new garage door from Hörmann.

Tailored for an active life

The garage has become more than just a storage space. For Carolina and Erik, it’s about being able to organise, simplify and create space for the whole family’s interests. Everything from skis to bicycles, tools and leisure gear now has a dedicated place - easily accessible, clear and stylish. With the help of Elfa’s experts at Studio Elfa, every detail was taken into account.

“We wanted a garage where both children and adults can easily find what we need and where it is quick to put away,” says Carolina.

A garage door that elevates the whole

To complete the whole, an elegant and secure garage door from Hörmann was chosen. Harmonising with the modern aesthetics of the house, the new door is not only visually appealing, it is also quiet, well-insulated and remotely controlled with Hörmann’s smart home solution for maximum convenience. The combination of function and design choices enhanced the overall impression of the garage.

A garage to look forward to

We love to be out and with our new garage, it’s so much easier to get off to a quick start. It really has become an extension of our home," says Erik.

Thanks to Elfa’s planning experts and the customised solutions from Garage+, the family has got more than just order. They have been given a space that simplifies everyday life and frees up time for what matters most.
