Not a garage per se, but similar. He then made a video on its design and construction that you might enjoy.



Enjoy!

The only thing I don't like about this is the fact that the floor slab is 42" below the adjacent grade. If you are building a large item, you have to lift it out of the workshop. The floor slab should be at grade or near grade, so that you can "roll" heavy items out of it. I get why he put it into the ground (to maintain a view), but I think it makes this workshop much less practical. Otherwise I really like it.
