The Story

The Vision Behind This Project

The Challenge

MOSS Building & Design completed a comprehensive garage-to-gym conversion project in Arlington, VA, transforming an underutilized two-car garage into a functional fitness space. The project involved selective demolition of interior walls and garage door framing, followed by pouring a new sloped concrete slab to create a level, durable gym floor.

The Approach

Structural work included installation of a new beam system supported by columns, construction of a new exterior wall with weather-resistant sheathing, and framing modifications to accommodate ventilation and natural light improvements. The space was fully finished with insulated walls, drywall, recessed LED lighting on dimmer switches, electrical outlets to code, and professional paint-grade trim throughout.

The Result

The exterior improvements included installation of a Pella double-hung window in the adjacent porch area and color-matched James Hardie fiber cement siding on modified wall sections. A new fire-rated steel entry door with Schlage hardware was installed between the gym and remaining garage space for safety and code compliance. The project incorporated energy-efficient insulation, code-compliant electrical systems including dedicated circuits, and a professionally painted floor with durable acrylic coating designed for high-traffic gym use.
