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 rental or investment property above garage storage (3-car garage ADU with upstairs living, second-floor master)
  • Want to house a guest, aging parent, or rental tenant separately from the main home (self-contained 940 sq ft apartment)
  • Require 3+ vehicle parking or workshop space (three-car garage, 920 sq ft of enclosed storage)
  • Prefer a highly efficient, compact design with minimal hallways (open-concept layout, 40–49 ft wide)
  • Value in-unit laundry with bedroom access (second-floor laundry with direct master access)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms—this plan has only 1 bedroom
  • Prefer a traditional home with a main-level living area—all living space is on the second floor above the garage
  • Want a family home with space for children's bedrooms—this ADU is designed as a single-occupancy or small household unit

About this plan

The Daisy Hill Garage ADU positions 940 square feet of heated living space entirely on the second floor above a spacious three-car garage, creating an efficient accessory dwelling unit suited for guest accommodations, independent living, or rental use. This arrangement keeps the lower level fully dedicated to vehicle storage while maintaining a private residential suite above.

An interior stair leads to an open-concept living area where the kitchen, dining, and main gathering space flow together without unnecessary hallways. A kitchen island with eating bar anchors the layout and supports meal preparation while maintaining clear sightlines across the compact interior. The second-floor master suite includes a walk-in closet and direct laundry access from the bedroom, adding convenience without increasing the footprint. The front-entry three-car garage provides 920 square feet of enclosed parking and storage beneath the living quarters, supported by a slab foundation for straightforward construction.

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.
