Located on the west side of Prudence Island, this small garage fits perfectly into its landscape and resembles the look of a traditional shingle styled gable outbuilding. Situated between seagrass and the edge of a wooded landscape, this outbuilding makes for the perfect island storage and workshop building. The large garage door allows for the owner to park vehicles or store away large items making it a versatile building. The dormer lets in additional natural light while allowing for a higher ceiling space to make it possible to add a loft. This utilitarian building is functional while still being aesthetically pleasing.

The traditional form of the roof and dormer was inspired by the numerous outbuildings and cottages around the island.

A simple gable roof with a 4 pane window in the peak is a feature of the traditional New England outbuilding. 

Owning a highly functional building used for both storage and as a workshop is a large benefit to anyone living on the Island.
