The Amazon "garage" in Bellevue WA was not a garage.
It had been converted by the owner of the house (Bezos was renting) or the previous owner. It was a normal livable space with windows, wall treatment etc.
Yes, once upon a time it had been a garage, but the only thing "special" about the space that has any relationship to its original purpose is that it formed the only space in a typical US residence large enough for 3 people to work in without totally disrupting normal domestic life. If there's mystery or magic to a "garage", that's it.
I know this because I worked in that garage until we moved to the so-called Color Tile Building in Seattle.
