Three Car Garage Apartment spans 938 square feet of heated living area, utilizing a stacked design that elevates the residence above a 3-car garage. With a footprint measuring 38 ft in width and 28 ft in depth, this carriage house plan provides a compact yet efficient solution for accessory dwelling units or rental income properties. The structure is defined by its 12:12 roof pitch, which creates a distinct architectural profile while maintaining a consistent 8-foot ceiling height across the second-floor living quarters.
The second-level floor plan organizes the living space around an open-concept core, integrating a kitchen island with seating that maintains sightlines into the family room. A fireplace serves as a central element within the living area, while the bedroom layout includes direct access to the laundry, streamlining household tasks. The 938-square-foot interior is designed for single-occupant or couple living, prioritizing clear circulation between the kitchen, dining, and sleeping zones.
Construction specifications include 2x6 exterior wall framing to accommodate modern insulation requirements and structural integrity. The 8-foot ceiling heights throughout the second floor ensure a standard, comfortable interior volume, while the ground floor is dedicated entirely to the 938-square-foot garage capacity. This configuration allows for three vehicle bays, providing substantial storage or workshop space beneath the residential unit.
The integration of the garage and living levels maximizes site utility, making this design suitable for lots where building footprint must remain minimal. The 12:12 roof slope contributes to the vertical presence of the building, ensuring the structure complements existing primary residences while offering a self-contained, functional living environment.
