Deer Haven is a versatile garage apartment design offering 971 square feet of total heated living space, optimized for a 48-foot width and 40-foot depth footprint. This structure combines a substantial 1,108 square foot 3-car garage on the main level with a multi-use upper floor, providing a configuration that serves as a guest suite, rental unit, or hobbyist workshop.
The main level encompasses 239 square feet of interior space alongside the expansive 3-car garage, which provides significant room for vehicle storage and equipment. An integrated workshop area occupies a portion of the ground floor, offering a dedicated zone for projects. The addition of a 543 square foot porch extends the usable footprint, allowing for exterior circulation and utility.
Occupying 732 square feet, the second level contains the primary living quarters. Both the first and second floors feature 9-foot ceiling heights, which work to increase the sense of volume within the compact layout. The roof profile is defined by a combination of steep 12:12 and 4:12 roof pitches, contributing to an overall maximum building height of 24 feet 7 inches.
Constructed to balance utility with residential requirements, the design provides a clear separation between the vehicle storage zone and the living area above. The layout ensures efficient use of the 2,622 square feet of total building area, maintaining a rigid footprint that minimizes site coverage while maximizing internal storage and living capacity.
