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 workshop or room for 2+ vehicles (2-car garage with 965 sq ft of workspace on the ground floor)
  • Want a guest cottage or in-law quarters that doubles as a workshop (upper-level living with dedicated garage below)
  • Working with a narrow lot — the design is just 40–49 ft wide and up to 39 ft deep
  • Seeking a compact residential footprint above serious storage and vehicle space
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 2+ bedrooms — this plan has only 1 bedroom with an open loft space
  • Want primary living space on the ground floor — residential quarters are upstairs
  • Prefer minimal garage space — 965 sq ft of garage dominates the footprint
  • Have a small lot under 40 ft wide — this design needs 40–49 ft of width

About this plan

Carriage-House Living with Workspace

The Summit is a clever 1,027 sq ft garage apartment combining a two-car garage with a focused one-bedroom residence in a two-story craftsman design. This plan is tailored for property owners needing high-capacity workspace alongside a bright, comfortable upper-level living quarters.

The ground floor dedicates 965 sq ft to garage utility with front-load access, providing ample room for vehicles, tools, and professional-grade workshop use. Upstairs, open-concept living flows around a central island kitchen, creating an airy environment. The bedroom features a walk-in closet with full-bath access, while a versatile loft adds volume to the living zones.

Built with 2x6 wall framing on a slab foundation, the Summit operates with incredible efficiency. Its compact dimensions and high capacity suit properties where workspace and residential needs overlap — ideal for accessory dwelling, guest quarters, or owner's retreat while retaining serious workshop capability.
