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 parking and workspace for multiple vehicles or projects (3-car garage, dedicated workshop area)
  • Want bonus square footage without adding on to the main house (597 sf bonus room above the garage)
  • Store or work on larger vehicles and equipment (10-foot garage ceiling)
  • Need a convenience powder room on the garage level (1 half bath)
  • Working with a modest footprint for an outbuilding (36 ft wide by 32 ft deep)
  • Prefer simple, durable construction (slab foundation, 2x6 wall framing)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Looking for a primary residence with bedrooms and full bathrooms (this plan has 0 bedrooms and 0 full baths)
  • Need finished living space on both levels (bonus room has 8-foot ceilings, not full home amenities)
  • Want a two-story home in the traditional sense (this is a 1.5-story garage structure with a bonus room)
  • Need more than 3 garage bays for a larger vehicle collection (plan tops out at 3-car garage)

About this plan

Centered around an expansive three-car garage and integrated workshop, this detached garage workshop design prioritizes utility while adding a versatile 597 sq. ft. bonus room above. With 1,152 sq. ft. of garage space below, the structure separates vehicle storage, project work, and flexible upper-level use, creating a layout that adapts to a wide range of residential property needs without occupying the main house. The garage level is arranged to support both storage and hands-on work, with a dedicated workshop area and a conveniently located powder room that serves the lower level. Above, the bonus room provides an open space that can accommodate hobbies, a studio, a home office, or seasonal storage depending on changing needs. Direct circulation between levels allows each floor to function independently while maintaining a practical connection throughout the building. Constructed on a slab foundation with durable 2x6 wall framing, this detached garage features a 10-foot garage ceiling for larger vehicles and equipment, while the upper bonus room offers comfortable 8-foot ceilings beneath a 9:12 roof pitch. Its straightforward footprint makes it suitable as a companion structure for many residential settings. View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.

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.
