Lotta and Henry Imberg, the husband/wife team behind Imberg Arkitekter, turned a garage for tanks and military vehicles into a summer home overlooking the sea on Furillen, an island off the northeast coast of Gotland. With open sea breezes, ceiling fans need not apply.

Looks good- I think people should be able to convert a garage into living space if they don't have a car, and as long as it has proper ventilation, etc...
I love seeing things people do like this. My son turned a vacant house into a wonderfull place for me. It had 4 rooms and bath, now 3 rooms and bath. It is just perfect to me.
Nice remodel.
