The Garage: a hybrid frame with room to develop later
[Click pictures for larger images]
The upper floor apartment: 836 sq. ft.
Lower level: 782 sq. ft.
Total: 1618 sq. ft.
The Garage is very economical to build, but it looks classy.
It's a hybrid, with 2x6 wall construction below and a timber
framed apartment on the 2nd floor.
This design has lots of possibilites.
- It could be a regular garage with a guest apartment upstairs,
or provide extra income as a rental. For a rental it could
have an outside stair with a deck.
- Use it as a starter home. Later, one of the garages
could be converted into a level-entry in-law suite or a rec
room for a growing family.
- Make it the first building on your cottage lot. It would provide
lots of storage for SUVs, 4-wheelers, boat,
kayaks, etc.
The upstairs apartment has a fully timbered roof with
open timber valleys, tie beams, and rafters.
The elegant recessed entry allows you to stand
at the door out of the weather.
