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 extensive vehicle storage and workshop space (8-car garage with 3,000 sq ft total)
  • Working with acreage and want a detached structure separate from the main house (50 ft wide by 68 ft deep)
  • Require tall ceiling heights for lifts, equipment, or oversized machinery (16-foot ceilings)
  • Want a covered transition area for project staging (632 sq ft side porch)
  • Plan to spend extended time in the workspace (includes full bathroom)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Working with a compact or narrow lot — this design requires 50 feet of width and 68 feet of depth
  • Want a small, economical garage footprint — this is a large-scale structure at 3,000 sq ft
  • Need a garage attached to the main house — this is a detached building
  • Looking for a simple single-car or two-car garage — this plan is sized for 8 vehicles

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Kurt is an expansive detached garage plan providing 3,000 sq ft of dedicated vehicle storage and workspace. Engineered for collectors and hobbyists, the structure measures 50 ft in width and 68 ft in depth, requiring a substantial footprint for installation. The exterior profile reaches a maximum building height of 27 ft 2 in, topped with a 5:12 roof pitch that ensures efficient water runoff and visual consistency with traditional outbuilding aesthetics.

The primary interior volume is defined by 16-foot ceiling heights, providing the vertical clearance necessary for automotive lifts or oversized equipment storage. This high-volume layout allows for an 8-car garage capacity, supported by 2x6 wall framing and a stemwall foundation for structural rigidity. The interior is organized to maximize floor area for both vehicle parking and a dedicated workshop zone, ensuring equipment and gear remain organized within the clear-span space.

A 632 sq ft side porch provides an external area for project staging or sheltered access to the structure. This covered transition space integrates with the building's perimeter to offer a buffer between the workshop interior and the exterior site. The layout facilitates ease of movement for large machinery and vehicles, maintaining a clear path for circulation throughout the main level.

Constructed with durability in mind, the 2x6 framing supports the heavy-duty requirements of a large-scale detached garage. The site-specific design balances the need for maximum parking volume with a footprint that accommodates versatile use, whether for heavy equipment maintenance, professional shop operations, or private collections. The inclusion of a full bathroom adds a layer of operational convenience to the workspace.

Key Features: 8-car garage capacity, 3,000 sq ft parking area, 632 sq ft side porch, 16-foot ceiling height, 2x6 wall framing, stemwall foundation, dedicated workshop area, 1 full bathroom, 5:12 roof pitch.

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.
