Compact Garage Apartment with Loft, Second-Floor Suite, and Deck is a versatile 774-square-foot living structure designed to maximize utility above a 900-square-foot 2-car garage. This 30-foot by 30-foot footprint is optimized for properties requiring an efficient accessory dwelling unit, rental income potential, or a dedicated home office, providing a compact yet highly usable residential configuration.
The second-floor living area encompasses 774 square feet, centered around an open-concept floor plan that integrates the kitchen and living zones. This level includes a primary suite and a flexible loft area, which serves as additional storage or a secondary living space. A 125-square-foot deck extends the living area, providing direct outdoor access from the upper level.
Vertical volume is a primary design element, with the first-floor garage area featuring 10-foot ceilings and the second-floor living quarters maintaining 9-foot ceilings. This height distribution ensures that the interior feels expansive despite its compact square footage, allowing for better natural light penetration and a feeling of vertical openness throughout the suite.
Structural integrity is provided by a slab foundation and 2x6 exterior wall framing, designed to offer durability for residential use. The building reaches a maximum height of 21 feet with an 8:12 roof pitch, which defines the exterior profile and assists in drainage. The 2-car garage configuration supports vehicle storage or additional workshop space, ensuring the ground level remains highly functional.
