Check out the garage door in the GIF above. Designed by Craig Steely, it has a 24 foot by 24 foot concrete garage, and it has a very clever detail about it.

Steely explains:
Around the time the house was being designed, the new on-ramp to the Golden Gate Bridge was under construction which necessitated clearing a grove of Monterey Cypress trees in it's path from the Presidio. We secured some of these trees and working with a local milling shop turned them into 90 solid wood louvers.
The garage door is made up of perfectly-crafted wooden slates, which will slide on inverse axes to open and close. [ArchDaily]
