A carriage house, also known as a remise or coach house, is an outbuilding designed to accommodate horse-drawn vehicles and their trappings. These often stand alone but can be incorporated into larger buildings such as mansions or estates.
They are usually located close to the main house or other large buildings where there is space for them. They can also be found near public roads with space for parking several carriages.
Carriage houses are most commonly used in urban areas where space is at a premium. They allow horses to be kept indoors during bad weather while providing shelter for carriages and their drivers on location shoots or at other times when the studio is not available.
There are two types of carriage houses: those that are fully enclosed with a roof and those that are open air with only simple walls to provide protection from the elements. Carriage houses are usually built of brick or stone and include a garage for storing cars or trucks. They may have separate entrances for riders and animals or have one large door that will open for both people and horses.
In modern film production, carriage houses are used to store all kinds of equipment needed by the crew. These could include cameras, lights, generators, and other machinery.
A carriage house, also known as a coach house, is a separate structure from the main house that was originally intended to store horse-drawn carriages and accompanying equipment. Some carriage houses were also built with dwelling accommodations for servants, particularly those for big estates. Today, they are most often used for storage or as an art studio.
Carriage houses can be any size, but generally they are no larger than 300 square feet (28 sq m). Smaller carriage houses may be called shed or bungalow rooms. Larger ones usually have two or more floors plus a roof. They are usually constructed out of wood, although some large carriage houses are made of brick or stone. The walls should be at least 2 feet (60 cm) thick to be considered a shelter from the elements. A garage would be a better description of these smaller buildings.
The carriage house was originally designed to provide a safe place for horses to eat, rest, and drink while waiting for their next trip. Since then, it has become popular among carriage house owners to add additional amenities such as indoor bathrooms, kitchens, lounges, and even bedrooms. These additions make beautiful features of the carriage house but also increase its overall size. It is recommended that you get legal advice before making any major renovations to your carriage house.
Many carriage houses are now used as artist studios or craft rooms.
A carriage house is large enough to hold a horse-drawn carriage, but a carriage home is a single-family residence that rests on a property that is not much larger than the structure itself. They are comparable to condominiums or townhouses in that they share a wall. Carriage houses are most often found next to wealthy homeowners who can afford to have their cars transported by drivers rather than walking them. These structures were very common in cities until around 1920 when they began to be replaced by apartments as more people moved away from urban centers.
Carriage homes are now used mostly for residential rental purposes. This is because they do not require lot coverage or building permits, which makes them easy to construct. Also, because they are shared with one or more other units, they do not require separate utilities such as electricity or water. In fact, some carriage homes have been converted into live/work spaces so that residents can make a living in this type of environment.
These types of residences usually have one or two stories with a garage attached. There may be only a garage instead of an upstairs apartment if the carriage house was built before parking laws required vehicles to have license plates.
People love carriage homes because of their unique appearance and how well they fit into their surrounding areas. They are also easy to maintain and cost less to operate than a traditional house.
Carriage homes are similar to coach homes, although they are often bigger units. Many innovations use the terms "coach" and "cart" interchangeably. Carriage Homes are similar to Coach Homes, with the difference being that there are fewer units per structure. There are generally only one or two stories for carriage homes as compared to three or more for coach houses.
Both types of houses were commonly used on farms before the advent of the car. Since then they have become increasingly important as more people live in cities and travel by bus or train instead of using horses or carts.
The carriage house was originally built to provide shelter for farm vehicles such as wagons and buggies. As these vehicles became less common on farms, the carriage house came to be used exclusively for storage. Today, most commercial carriage houses are used for parking cars and storing equipment. Some larger ones are even being converted into apartments.
The coach house was initially designed to house horse-drawn vehicles. It was not until later that it came to be used for other purposes including storage. Today, most public coach houses are used as shops or offices. A few larger ones are even being converted into museums or galleries.
Thus, both the carriage house and the coach house serve different purposes depending on their location and owner. However, they do share one thing in common: they are both used for housing and storage.

A horse-drawn carriage, cart, or other vehicle is any vehicle that is drawn by one or more horses. The word "carriage" comes from the Latin carrus, which means "a wagon." In modern English, the word is used to describe both a four-wheeled vehicle with seats for passengers and its driver as well as various other vehicles including carts and motorized vehicles that are used for transportation purposes.
There are many types of carriages including: open carriage, victoria carriage, barouche-shaped carriage, phaeton, trap, gondola, coach, and stagecoach.
Carriages have been used for transportation purposes since ancient times. Early examples can be found in the form of wagons and carts used by the Greeks and Romans, respectively. Carriages came in many shapes and sizes throughout history but they all had something in common: they were all powered by horses. Modern-day carriages still follow this tradition and often use horses for power although some are also driven by motors or even people.
In order to pull a carriage, a team of horses needs to be selected.
