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 guest house or rental unit on a smaller lot (900 sq ft living area in a 50 ft by 44 ft footprint)
  • Want a second dwelling with full independence—laundry, kitchen, and bathroom all upstairs (second-floor laundry and full bath)
  • Require 3-car garage capacity plus substantial outdoor living (3-car garage plus 518 sq ft deck)
  • Planning multi-generational living or an accessory dwelling unit (1 bedroom, 1 full bath, 1 half bath)
  • Prefer a two-story design that maximizes vertical space (16-foot vaulted ceilings)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms for a family — this plan has only 1 bedroom
  • Want a single-story layout — this is a two-story structure with stairs
  • Require a large garage footprint — the 3-car garage is modest at 1,688 sq ft
  • Need extensive living space — the upper level is 909 sq ft, which is compact
  • Want a main-floor master suite — the bedroom and living area are on the second floor only

About this plan

Carriage House with Garage Below and Private Living Above

This contemporary carriage house plan combines 909 square feet of climate-controlled living space on the second floor with a 1,688 square foot, 3-car garage below. The two-story structure measures 50 feet wide by 44 feet deep, making it an efficient accessory dwelling for smaller or infill lots. A 518 square foot deck extends outdoor living and adds functional space to the compact footprint.

The upper level features a private master suite with full bathroom, a half bath, and a dedicated laundry area on the second floor—ideal for independent living whether as a guest house, rental unit, or home office retreat. Sixteen-foot vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of openness in the 909 square foot living area. The garage level offers 10-foot ceiling heights and accommodates three vehicles plus equipment storage, supported by 2x6 wall framing and a stemwall foundation.

The 8:12 roof pitch on the upper section and 4:12 slope on secondary elements create a distinctive profile that reaches 28 feet 11 inches in height. This design works well for properties seeking to maximize utility on limited land while maintaining a cohesive, modern aesthetic.

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.
