Plan Description

Garage Apartment Plan is 1359 Sq Ft, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths with Large Upper Balcony

Modern Style Garage Apartment Plan 40837 has 1359 square feet of living space with two bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full, efficient kitchen, living room, storage and even an art loft. An angled roof with 3:12 pitch, abundant windows and minimalist finishes give this garage apartment plan modern design appeal.

The main (ground floor) level offers an entry porch into the lower living space. This simple layout includes the staircase with a small storage area under the stairs where you can hang your coat and leave your boots.

At the end of the hall is a bedroom measuring 9' x 11' with a small closet. A full bathroom opens to the hallway so that you can easily access it when you enter from the 2 car garage.

At the rear of the garage is a storage area measuring 10' x 19'. Here you will have plenty of room for small recreational vehicles, yard supplies, hobby and sporting equipment.

A man door from the storage room leads to an outdoor area that is covered by the deck above. This would make a nice covered patio for outdoor living.

Upstairs, on the main level you will enjoy the master bedroom which measures 12' x 16'. You can fit a king size bed in this room! The large walk-in closet measures 8' x 10'.

Between the bedroom and the closet is a small room with a stacked washer and dryer. This is a nice feature accessed by pocket doors.

The bathroom is accessed from the main living space or from the bedroom and includes a double sink and shower with seat. For added privacy, the toilet is located behind another closed door. Linen closets offer a place to store your towels and toiletries.

The full, efficient kitchen has everything you would find in a moderately-sized house. You have plenty of counter and cabinet space plus a small pantry. There is also room for five people to sit at the counter bar.

In the family room is a vaulted ceiling. The wall facing the balcony is 17 feet tall and features abundant windows. Plenty of natural light floods the interior.

The balcony offers a sunny place to dine outside, and it measures 24' x 10'.

A ship’s ladder from the vaulted family room leads to the artist’s loft above the bedroom. The art loft is bonus space measuring 11' x 16'. You could easily fit a large bed or two twin beds here.

Garage apartments make great guest suites. Garage apartments also offer great potential for rental income!

Q & A

Previous Q & A

Q: Hi what I wanted to know is if there is a gap between the ceiling to the trusses or if there is a gap from the trusses to the roof. Thank you

A: No gap, everything is 16" o.c.

Q: I was wondering how the roof would be insulated is there a gap area for blown insulation, or is it foam on the outside? thank you

A: That's a question for your contractor.

Q: Do the plans show the block work as shown in the picture? And what is the Peak height? I'm a Structural Steel contractor and I want to frame this house out of steel. Can it be done? Thank You

A: Do the plans show the block work as shown in the picture? Yes And what is the Peak height? 30'-6" I'm a Structural Steel contractor and I want to frame this house out of steel. Can it be done? Yes, but we do not detail that part. You have to have a licensed engineer to finish those plans.

Q: What is the outside material?

A: Siding on the walls and metal roof

Q: How tall is this house? Can you send me elevation data?

A: The house is 30’4 from the front door floor level to the highest point of the roof. It has a 3:12 pitch

Q: If we remove the loft, the ceiling heights would be what in the bathroom? Do you have any interior renderings or photo?

A: If we remove the loft, the ceiling heights would be what is in the bathroom? It would remain an 8' flat ceiling. If you wanted a vaulted ceiling in the bathroom it would vault from 8' to 11' Do you have any interior renderings or photos? Sorry no.

A: 2495 includes the 240sf balcony

Q: Where is the space where a furnace, water heater, water softener, etc would go?

A: You can easily add those in the storage area on the lower level

Q: Are the cables on the front deck decorative as I would want to eliminate them or am I going to need to a add a center post to deck to do so? Also, where does the furnace and WH go on this plan? This will be in a cold climate (in the winter months). It seems like the plan may need to be modified to add a small mechanical room on the back wall of the garage space for this purpose? Thanks, Kurt

A: Yes they are decorative cables. The furnace and water heater can be located in the garage. The original customer chose to use a mini-split system. Your garage provides plenty of room to add a mechanical room as you see fit.
