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…
  • Looking to add a rental or guest unit on a compact lot (33 ft wide × 50 ft deep)
  • Need vehicle storage plus residential space in one footprint (2-car garage plus 782 sq ft living area)
  • Want outdoor entertaining options (308 sq ft back patio with prep counter and 144 sq ft deck)
  • Building an accessory dwelling unit for multi-generational living or income
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than one bedroom (this plan has 1 bedroom only)
  • Want multiple bathrooms (only 1 full bathroom in 782 sq ft)
  • Require more than 150 square feet of second-floor space (upper level is limited at 150 sq ft)
  • Need a separate entry to the residential unit that doesn't pass through the garage

About this plan

Compact Two-Story Garage Apartment

The Meyer ADU is a 782 square foot two-story garage apartment designed for accessory dwelling unit applications. The compact footprint of 33 feet in width and 50 feet in depth makes it ideal for sites with limited space while maintaining full residential functionality.

The ground level houses a 2-car front-entry garage with 650 square feet of vehicle and storage capacity. The residential unit sits above, with the first floor spanning 632 square feet and the second floor adding 150 square feet. A 10-foot ceiling height on the main level and 9-foot ceilings upstairs create vertical volume in the limited square footage.

The living area features an open-concept kitchen and room configuration centered around a dedicated 1-bedroom suite with private bathroom and walk-in closet. A 144 square foot deck with integrated stairs provides access to the upper living level, while a 308 square foot back patio with outdoor sink and counter extends the usable outdoor space. The structure is built on a slab foundation with 2x6 exterior wall framing, designed for durability as a guest residence or rental unit.
