Garage Apartment plans are generally detached garages with upper level living space. These designs usually provide storage for two or three cars on the main level with living quarters above consisting of one or two bedrooms and bathrooms, a compact kitchen and a combined living and dining area. With garage apartment plans, amenities and features are modest with minimal closet space and perhaps just enough room for a stacked washer/dryer unit. Most garage apartment plans have the outward appearance of simple houses with their façades taking on a particular house plan style such as country or traditional. Various rooflines and garage door combinations give each design a look all its own. Garage apartment plans offer an alternative for some Garage Loft plans and Garage Plans with Flex Space.
Garage apartments can provide space for a home office, hobby room, or studio, or take on the roll of a guest suite providing comfortable accommodations to visitors. They also work well as a secondary residence, perfect for a weekend getaway. In other cases, the apartment area is ideal for a nanny or maid’s quarters. Some garage apartment floor plans feature interior stairs accessing the upper level while others offer exterior stairs. These designs are available in a variety of sizes ranging in width and depth and offering storage for all the family cars or room for boats, trailers, lawn equipment and other items on the main level. Occasionally, apartment garage plans are designed on one level with the garage area on one side of the structure and the living quarters on the other. This type of layout is works great for families with an aging relative in their care who prefers to live independently, but needs assistance from time to time. Garage apartment floor plans are the ideal solution to your extra parking and additional living space needs. Closely related to carriage houses, these simple yet comfortable Garage Apartment designs suit a variety of needs.
