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 rental income or an accessory dwelling unit on your property (750 sq ft self-contained upper floor)
  • Want a home office with a separate entrance and full bathroom on the second floor
  • Require a 2-car garage with ample 9-foot ceilings plus additional living space
  • Working with a constrained lot that is roughly 39 feet wide or less
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need ground-floor living without climbing stairs (master suite is on the second floor only)
  • Want multiple bedrooms — this plan has 1 bedroom only
  • Need a garage larger than 2 bays — this design accommodates 2 cars only

About this plan

The Nashville 2.0 ADU is a contemporary garage apartment plan designed to maximize utility on constrained building sites. This two-story structure provides a 729-square-foot front-load two-car garage on the ground level, with 750 square feet of heated living space on the second floor. The steep 12:12 roof pitch and 31-foot 9-inch building height create a modern aesthetic while the compact 20-foot-by-37-foot-6-inch footprint fits easily into tight spaces.

The upper-level living area features an open-concept floor plan that integrates the kitchen, dining zone, and family room into one bright, unobstructed space. The master suite is isolated from the common living area, offering privacy with a dedicated full bathroom and walk-in closet. This separation makes the design ideal for accessory dwelling unit applications, rental income, or a private home office.

The 9-foot ceiling height in the garage keeps the vehicle storage spacious, while the elevated living level provides a quiet retreat. Built on a slab foundation with contemporary structural detailing, this plan offers a clean, organized solution for homeowners requiring extra living space or rental capacity without expanding their primary residence footprint.

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
