Already inspired and ready to give your AMG a new home? AMG, regardless of the model, stands for strong character and self-confidence. Anyone who drives one knows it's not just a means of transport, but an expression of personal feeling. This lust for life and the design that goes with it should also be reflected in your car’s resting place. "The mix of bold and expressive, luxury and performance, is what AMG is all about for me," says Heller, when being asked about the brand's design DNA. For the interior, make use of authentic, high-quality materials. Don't hold back: materials such as concrete and steel combined with bold colors and daring forms give the room its identity.

Less is more when it comes to the floor. Choose high-quality and preferably sustainable subfloor materials, such as screed or concrete. The so-called terrazzo, often found in the entrance halls of magnificent mansions built at the turn of the century, is a particularly beautiful floor option. This tried-and-tested flooring is a type of mastic asphalt that can be sanded down to provide a beautiful surface grain and elegant definition. It owes its durability and classy look to the use of different types of stone such as granite, marble, limestone, and river gravel, all of which can be sanded or polished to your liking. There's also something to be said for asphalt screed. Its matte sheen doesn't compete with the vehicle's paint, nor does it reflect light in a bothersome way.

High-quality flooring materials combined with exposed concrete and complementary lighting can offer a tasteful balance between luxury design and raw materials that is ideal for AMG's stylistic approach.

Keeping your space clean and tidy is key to creating an environment in which you can be productive and also kick back once the work is done. More importantly: the fewer the distractions, the bigger the pedestal for your car. An AMG can withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions, of course, but your garage as a "me space" is all about making it homely. A reliable rule: Rid yourself of anything that hasn't been used in the last six months. Put up some classified ads, ask your friends, and away it goes.

Garages can do much more than house your car and offer a space for you to enjoy. Most people are now familiar with the term "smart home," which refers to integrating modern technology into one's living space. Not only does it save energy, it also allows for plenty of external control: setting the temperature before entering the house, keeping an eye on the security system, or regulating irrigation in the garden. Data plays a key role in this digitization, and there's no reason to leave out the garage. One suggestion is to control the lighting and heat conveniently from the palm of your hand using a smartphone.

In addition to smart gadgets, handy tools, and luxurious design, having fun is a huge part of upgrading your garage – whether it's in the form of a popcorn machine, mini bar, work station, or car simulator. There should be no limits to creativity in this room. Can you imagine anything better than racing one of your favourite tracks in the presence of your own beloved AMG? "You can create this feeling in your garage by installing two widescreen monitors," says Heller. "It can also be fun for the whole family, from playing video games to settling in for a movie in your garage theatre."
