The second floor is dedicated to the compact living quarters that appear to float above the garage. At the top of the stairs, there’s a large black-framed glass wall that provides a view of the cars below.

The main living area of the home is open plan, with the living room and kitchen sharing the same space. A wood accent wall and wood flooring helps to warm up the mostly white interior.
