Moving air with style

The Challenge

Create a garage that is for more than just cars. Create an environment that could be used as a year-round gathering spot, during the scorching heat of summer as well as throughout Canada’s famously cold winters.

The Solution

“Proper climate control and airflow was a key element in our overall design,” says John Stumpf, Sales Manager for Station Earth.

“Part garage, part man-cave and part event space, The Garagemahal has become our go-to year-round gathering space,” notes Stumpf. Dominating the ceiling is the Big Ass 10’ Isis fan.

“People come over to watch the game or check out the car collection, however, conversation inevitably shifts to the fan” says Stumpf. “It is truly a conversation piece.”

With the recent global pandemic, John has transformed a portion of the garage into his home-based office. “I now spend several hours a day working behind my desk in the Garagemahal. The fan is always running and the environment is perfect” notes Stumpf. “The motor is completely silent. The blades move slowly and mix the air with no perceptible breeze. Temperature stratification is eliminated, and the climate is consistent from wall to wall.”

“And to top it off, Big Ass fans are completely integrated into my Elan Home Automation system. I can control and monitor the fans performance from my phone or any of the touchscreen panels throughout our home. We now regularly include Big Ass fans as an integral part of our client’s home automation solutions” states Stumpf.
