Hey guys, as per title.

Other than cost difference (since garage = bricked up), any reason as to why there are not many around in Malaysia?

What are the disadvantages of a lock up garage when compared to a car porch?

Actually garage have many advantage. They is some people become billionair from the garage. They is some people invent something from the garage.

Malaysian don't have a garage culture. That is why we still behind than the have garage people country. tongue.gif

Disadvantages:
In term of space, garage will take more space and it will occupied almost more than half of your ground floor entrance.
In term of ventilation and view, it will block your ground floor living room ventilation and views.

Advantages:
It will more safe for your car storage.

Appearance is really hard for judgement. It depends on your designer.

In order to have a garage, the house design have to change. Instead of vertical where depth is longer than wide normally what we have here, it need wider lenght than depth. The garage will be at the side of the house. An indoor door will be connect between the house and the garage. That won't block your hall or anything infront.

Garage use to be as a car park, storage and workshop. Specially during winter time for the western.

In here malaysia, garage is separate out far from the house. You still can see this kind of garage house at PJ or Ipoh.
