The Barham Family—Alpha, IL
The Barham family needed space: Mike & Angi Barham have a beautiful home, but according to them, one thing was lacking… extra storage space! Angie told us they had an existing garage, but with her and Mike’s hobbies as well as two young daughters at home, there just wasn’t enough space for everything! You see, Mike has a couple of vintage cars, and Angie is a photographer and needed more space for her studio.
Mike told us they didn’t do a great deal of research before choosing a builder. Angie followed up by saying “From all the good things we heard about Coach House, we just didn’t look at any other companies.”
Mike & Angie spoke very highly of the Coach House team, telling us that the “Communication was amazing” and they loved how quickly the garage was built. Mike told us his favorite aspect of their garage is how well it fits into their property, calling it “A very pretty garage.” Their daughters Lilly and Lakyn are particularly fond of the pool.
Their initial plan for their garage was only to add more storage space, but after it was finished, they decided to turn their backyard into their own private paradise by adding an inground pool, complete with chairs, a water fountain, and landscaping. Angie told us she loves working in her studio with the windows open listening to the sound of the water. This garage is truly a multi-functional space for the whole family.
Over the years we have found that many homeowners use their garage for a multitude of purposes and the Barham’s story is no exception to those findings. The impact of their Coach House Garage has not only brought convenience to their busy lifestyle but also luxury and style that all started with the idea of a garage… a Coach House Garage!
