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…
  • Building an accessory dwelling unit on a small or constrained lot (28 ft width, 30 ft depth)
  • Want a rental or guest space separate from your primary home (independent loft living area with garage below)
  • Need workshop and storage space alongside residential living (896 sq ft garage with 10 ft ceilings)
  • Seeking a compact footprint to keep construction and land costs minimal (1,530 sq ft total)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need ground-floor living without stairs — the 634 sq ft living area is loft-only on the second level
  • Want multiple bedrooms — this plan has one open loft space without defined bedroom walls
  • Building on a lot wider than 39 feet — design is optimized for narrow footprints

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Compact ADU Over 2-Car Garage

This country garage apartment plan offers 634 square feet of heated loft living space perched above a spacious 2-car garage. Designed with a compact 28 ft width and 30 ft depth, the plan maximizes utility on smaller lots while maintaining a total building footprint of 1,530 square feet. Standing 24 ft 7 in tall, the structure combines guest accommodations, rental income potential, or studio space with extensive vehicle and storage capacity below.

The ground level houses an 896 square foot, 2-car front-load garage with 10 ft ceilings, providing clearance for vehicles, workshop equipment, or general storage. The structure is built on a slab foundation using 2x6 wall framing for improved insulation and long-term durability. Above, the loft level provides an open-concept living environment enhanced by a steep 12:12 roof pitch that creates vaulted ceilings and significant interior volume within the compact square footage. This self-contained upper level can host a sleeping area and essential amenities for independent use.

  • Exterior elevations (all sides)
  • Detailed floor plan(s) with dimensions
  • Foundation plan
