Architects are riding on the wave of ‘carchitecture’ where car enthusiast homeowners desire their wheels to be the focal point in their home.
Such car art galleries have become the playground for wealthy individuals who desire houses and interior spaces built around their expensive wheels.
Unbeknown to many people, ‘Carchitecture’ isn’t a new concept.
It even intrigued famous architects such as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, who owned more than 80 cars during their lifetime.
The legendary architect Le Corbusier integrated the motor car into his design of Villa Savoye in France, marking one of the earliest examples of ‘Carchitecture.’
His design reflected his belief in the car as a central element of modern life.
