This detached garage house plan offers a practical and versatile solution for homeowners in need of additional storage, workspace, or vehicle accommodation. With a total structure size of 1,170 sq ft, this design focuses entirely on functionality while maintaining a clean and efficient layout.
The garage features a well-proportioned footprint, measuring 40' in width and 31' in depth, with a building height of 17'4''. These dimensions provide ample space for multiple uses while remaining compact enough to fit comfortably on most properties.
Designed with convenience in mind, the garage includes 3 bays in a front-load configuration, allowing for easy access and efficient vehicle entry and exit. Whether used for parking cars, storing equipment, or housing recreational vehicles, the layout offers flexibility for a variety of needs.
The interior provides a generous 1,170 sq ft of unheated space, making it ideal for storage, workshop use, or hobby areas. The 10' garage ceiling height enhances the functionality of the space, allowing for taller vehicles, overhead storage systems, or even the installation of lifts for automotive work.
Constructed with durable 2x4 wall framing and a truss roof system, this garage ensures structural strength and long-term reliability. The 6:12 roof pitch not only adds to the building’s visual appeal but also promotes effective water drainage and durability in various weather conditions.
The slab foundation provides a stable and low-maintenance base, making this garage both cost-effective and easy to maintain over time. Its straightforward construction makes it an excellent addition to both residential and rural properties.
As a detached structure, this garage offers flexibility in placement, allowing homeowners to position it according to their lot layout and personal preferences. It can be used as a standalone building or as a complement to an existing home.
The simple yet functional design makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. It can serve as a traditional vehicle garage, a workshop for tools and equipment, or even a storage facility for outdoor gear and seasonal items. Its open layout allows for easy customization to meet specific needs.
Additionally, the spacious interior can be adapted for specialized uses, such as a hobby space, small business operations, or a personal studio. The clear-span design made possible by the truss roof framing ensures minimal interior obstructions, maximizing usable space.

All house plans sold by Archival Designs have been designed to comply with the International Residential Code (IRC) and to the local codes in the area where the designer resides or where the house was built.
All house plans are designed to meet or exceed the national building standards required by the International Residential Code (IRC). Due to differences in climate and geography throughout North America, every city, local municipality and county has unique building codes and regulations that must be followed to obtain a building permit. Prior to purchasing a set of house plans, we recommend that you meet with your local building officials in order to determine the building requirements for your area. It is the responsibility of the purchaser(s) and/or builder to ensure that the structure is constructed to meet the codes of their local area.
Important Note:
House plans do not come stamped or signed by an architect or engineer. Additionally, house plans typically will not include structural engineering notes/calculations. Please check with your local building officials to determine if a stamp is required. If required, the building department will only accept a stamp from a licensed professional in the state where the home will be built.
Depending on your city, county, and state building requirements, house plans may need to be reviewed by a local licensed architect or engineer for structural details and code standards before construction begins. This is particularly true in coastal areas and those facing seismic events, extreme winds, and heavy snow. If you are building in any of these areas, a licensed structural engineer will likely be needed to provide the necessary calculations and additional drawings. We authorize the use of our plans conditioned on your obligation and agreement to strictly comply with all local building codes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements, including permits and inspections at the time of and during construction. We recommend checking with your local building department for the most current requirements. The purchaser(s) and/or builder are responsible for additional expenses incurred through meeting municipality requirements or other requirements for construction.
Our foundation plans have been designed for universal conditions and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific site conditions. The foundation should be modified by a local structural engineer to comply with soil testing laboratory findings and local building requirements.
Our house plans will include schematic electrical drawings; however, circuiting or wire sizing will not be included. Your electrical subcontractor will typically provide these drawings.
HVAC and plumbing drawings are not included. Your mechanical and plumbing subcontractors will determine the best layout for your site. Local HVAC codes, climatic requirements and commonly used systems vary throughout the country. The direction of how water flow will enter the home vary from case to case. For this reason, it is impossible to provide universal plans.
