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 dedicated workshop or studio space above a 2-car garage (746 sq ft loft)
  • Want a guest suite or home office separate from the main residence (upper-level bonus room)
  • Working with a compact lot — the 38-by-38-foot footprint fits tight spaces
  • Require substantial vehicle and equipment storage (988 sq ft garage area)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Looking for a residential home with bedrooms and bathrooms — this is a garage structure with no living quarters
  • Need multiple garage bays beyond 2 cars — the design is limited to 2-car capacity
  • Prefer a single-story footprint — this is a two-story structure at 26 feet 3 inches tall
  • Want a traditional home with a kitchen and dining room — this plan has neither

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

20 125 Garage is a two-story utility structure designed with 988 square feet of ground-level parking and a 746-square-foot upper-level loft. Spanning a 38-foot width and 38-foot depth, this footprint is engineered for property owners requiring additional storage and flexible floor area. The design integrates a front-load 2-car garage configuration, ensuring straightforward access for vehicles and maintenance equipment.

The upper level offers 746 square feet of open space, suitable for a home office, studio, or guest area. This bonus zone utilizes the vertical volume provided by the structure's 26-foot 3-inch maximum building height. The 8-foot first-floor ceiling height maintains a practical clearance for garage operations, while the 12:12 roof pitch contributes to the building's structural profile and provides the necessary clearance for the loft area.

Construction specifications include 2x6 exterior wall framing and a slab foundation, providing a durable base for the 1,734 square feet of total interior space. The inclusion of a 456-square-foot rear patio extends the usability of the site, allowing for transition between the interior loft and exterior grounds. This design prioritizes load-bearing capacity and spatial efficiency for residential applications.

Key Features: 2-car garage, 746 sq ft loft, 988 sq ft garage area, 456 sq ft rear patio, 12:12 roof pitch, 2x6 wall framing, slab foundation, front-load garage, 26-foot 3-inch building height, two-story configuration.

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.
