Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Need a 3-car garage with drive-through access and separate heated office space (3-car garage, 500 sq ft office, 1 full bathroom)
  • Want dedicated storage without mixing it with active workspace (600 sq ft storage zone separate from garage bays)
  • Require tall ceiling heights for equipment or machinery storage (10-foot first floor, 11-foot-6-inch second floor)
  • Planning a small business operation or home office with vehicle storage (integrated kitchen and bathroom in heated space)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a compact footprint to minimize site impact — this design requires substantial lot space (60 ft wide, 40 ft deep)
  • Looking for a garage attached to a residential home — this is a detached structure only
  • Want multiple bedrooms or a full residential living area — this plan offers office/studio space only, no bedrooms

About this plan

Comer is a versatile detached garage structure engineered for high-capacity vehicle storage and professional utility. Spanning 1,900 square feet of garage area, this design incorporates a 3-car capacity with drive-through access, allowing for straightforward maneuvering of oversized vehicles or heavy equipment. With a footprint measuring 60 feet in width and 40 feet in depth, the structure provides a specialized environment for automotive hobbyists or business operators requiring dedicated workshop and storage zones.

The interior layout prioritizes functional zoning by separating the expansive garage bays from 500 square feet of heated living space. This area includes a dedicated kitchen and one full bathroom, providing a self-contained office or studio environment. An additional 600 square feet of storage space is integrated into the plan, ensuring that equipment and supplies remain organized and accessible without encroaching on the primary workspace.

Vertical volume is a primary feature of the design, with 10-foot ceilings on the first floor and 11-foot-6-inch ceilings on the second floor. These dimensions allow for significant vertical clearance, supporting the storage of taller machinery or the creation of a mezzanine-style layout. The maximum building height of 22 feet 9 inches provides a substantial profile while maintaining efficiency in the overall structural massing.

Constructed on a slab foundation, the build utilizes 2x4 framing and a truss roof system to maintain structural integrity. The exterior is defined by a 4:12 roof pitch, which balances water drainage requirements with a streamlined aesthetic. This combination of materials and dimensions results in a durable, low-maintenance structure capable of supporting various industrial or personal storage requirements.

Key Features: 3-car garage, 1,900 sq ft garage area, 500 sq ft heated office, 600 sq ft storage, drive-through bay access, 16-foot clearance, slab foundation, 1 full bathroom, 1 kitchen, truss roof framing.
