Has anyone ventured into or knows someone specializing in walk-in cooler/freezers but in residential?

So, our garage's spare fridge just went kaput. And while researching for a new unit and talking to a friend down in the US who knows a thing and two about fridges, he told me since I've got the space, why not do what many residential homes down in US are doing: adding walk-in fridge/freezer into them as it provides much more space and easier access.

At first I looked at standard walk-in units... price-wise, they are quite ok. As a matter of fact, volume to volume, it provides much better cost-effectiveness than any decent fridge out there. The BIG problem seems to be that these pre-built units are for commercial buildings and I'm not so sure I could just order one, put it in the garage and call it a day.

Then it seems that they can also be custom-built for not a whole lot more money, but again... all the contractors I found in this related field work strictly in commercial settings.

Thus, my question is... is this even a thing here in Canada? Do we have anything in the BC building code that prevents adding such a unit? (basically a big foam insulated box with a condenser unit)
