Spanning 1,304 square feet of total heated living area, the Saluda Hills Garage is a two-story country house plan designed with a compact 34-foot width and 40-foot depth. This structure prioritizes a vertical living arrangement, placing the primary residential quarters on the second level while dedicating the ground floor to utility and workspace. The exterior is defined by an 8:12 roof pitch with secondary roof elements of 12:12 and 5.5:12, contributing to a maximum building height of 30 feet 7 inches.
The main level encompasses 125 square feet of interior space, featuring a flexible home office or study and a half bathroom. This floor serves as a transition point with direct access to a 1,235 square foot three-car garage. A 387 square foot porch provides a covered entry point, grounding the home's footprint and providing an outdoor extension to the primary structural mass.
Occupying 1,179 square feet, the second level serves as the core residential zone. An open-concept layout integrates the kitchen, which is outfitted with a central island and a walk-in pantry, with a keeping room and an eating bar. This level also contains the primary suite, which includes a double-vanity bathroom and a walk-in closet. The second-floor volume is enhanced by 9-foot ceilings, while the first level provides a greater sense of vertical scale with 11-foot ceilings.
This design utilizes a classic country aesthetic to maximize efficiency on smaller lots. The integration of the garage at the base allows for a footprint that preserves yard space while maintaining a high ratio of parking capacity to total square footage. The structure is configured to support both professional work-from-home requirements and standard residential needs within a single, unified architectural envelope.
