Occupying a compact 24 ft by 32 ft footprint, the Biscayne Garage Apartment Plan provides 480 sq ft of heated living space positioned above a 645 sq ft two-car garage. This design is engineered for narrow lots and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) applications, utilizing a 12:12 roof pitch that maximizes vertical roof volume while maintaining a total building height of 23 ft 3 in.
The upper-level floor plan is organized around an open-concept living area, where the 8 ft 1 in ceilings create a sense of scale within the 480 sq ft of climate-controlled space. This level contains a primary suite equipped with a full bathroom and a walk-in closet, alongside a wall pantry for efficient storage. A dedicated laundry area is situated on the main level to streamline household management without compromising the living quarters above.
Construction specifications for the Biscayne Garage Apartment Plan include stick-framed wall construction and a robust roof profile designed to handle residential loads. The garage level integrates a 64 sq ft utility and workshop zone, providing additional storage or hobby space that remains distinct from the vehicle parking area. The 8 ft ceiling height on the ground level ensures sufficient clearance for standard automotive storage.
This structure serves as a versatile solution for property owners seeking to incorporate rental income potential or private guest accommodations into a small site. By stacking the living area above the 2-car garage, the design preserves yard space and minimizes the overall site impact. The 12:12 roof geometry provides a traditional aesthetic that complements various architectural styles while ensuring long-term structural durability.
