Eight Bays on Crescent Bay 
The design resonates with Fort Erie's past while also engaging in its present day culture. Referencing a familiar presence in the local landscape, DCS employed a utilitarian pre-engineered metal building system to create a barn structure with a contemporary fling, yet efficient in matching the function of the business occupying it. 
Blue and Gold Makes Green 
Metal buildings promote environmental efficiency by their very nature as they are made from recycled material. The building system uses 60% recycled metal as well as energy-saving, insulated metal-panel cladding. With one of Garrison Autos primary concerns being its environmental impact, they looked to ensure that by Insulating and utilizing a metal building, they were to encourage energy efficiency and would have a dramatic and immediate impact on energy expenditure. Boosting thermal efficiency is a matter of using the right insulation, which in turn contributes to the longevity of the building itself.
