cool to read about but i have to imagine killer expensive and i cant imagine having to maintain a hydraulic garage door.  ughhh   but i like that you like to overkill everything.  ya fit right in.

my shop was built to be a copy of the style of my house.  same roof, same eaves, same color, same stucco etc.  i dont think my doors look out of place.  and they are 15 foot high and 14 foot wide.  

i did opt for a clopay r18 steel sandwiched extra thick door and paid to have low e insulated glass put in the windows.  

i used light commercial liftmaster jackshaft openers inside so as to not have a center overhead rail for the opener.
