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 workshop or hobby space alongside a compact apartment (10 ft garage ceilings with 3-car capacity)
  • Want to add rental or guest quarters without expanding the lot (1,207 sq ft second-floor living over garage)
  • Seeking an accessory dwelling unit with substantial vehicle storage (1,420 sq ft garage footprint)
  • Plan to age in place or house family members — primary suite and laundry access on one floor (master closet to laundry connection)
  • Building on a narrow lot — the 46 ft width maximizes utility in a compact footprint
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms — this plan has only 1 bedroom
  • Require multiple bathrooms for daily use — this plan has 1 full bathroom and 1 half bathroom
  • Want a traditional house layout — this is a stacked garage-apartment configuration (3-car garage on ground floor)
  • Prefer main-level master suite — the only bedroom is on the second floor above the garage
  • Building in a neighborhood that restricts garage apartments or ADUs

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Garage Apartment with Generous Vehicle & Workshop Space

Andreas is a contemporary two-story garage apartment offering 1,207 sq ft of refined living space above a massive 3-car garage. Designed for a 46 ft by 40 ft footprint, this plan totals 2,912 sq ft of structural space, making it an ideal multi-purpose property for guest quarters, rental income, or home office combined with vehicle or equipment storage.

The ground floor features a spacious 1,420 sq ft, 3-car garage with 10 ft ceilings, allowing for automotive lifts, overhead storage, or oversized vehicle clearance. An integrated mudroom transitions from the garage to the upper level. The second floor delivers 948 sq ft of open-concept living, with a primary suite that includes a walk-in closet and double-vanity master bath. Laundry access directly from the master closet streamlines daily routines. A 285 sq ft deck provides outdoor extension.

Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 framing and a dual roof pitch (3:12 and 6:12), this design maintains a clean, modern aesthetic while maximizing vertical utility. The combination of generous garage headroom and efficiently planned living quarters makes this an excellent solution for properties requiring multiple functions within a compact 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.
