Plan HG-1123 (576 Sq Ft (18x32) 1 Bed 1 Bath Garage with Loft / Apartment Above Floor Plan with Apartment Above) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted garage with loft / apartment above blueprint engineered around a 32'-0" × 18'-0" structural grid (576 sq ft base footprint, 0.56:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Side-Vestibule Garage + Balcony Apartment topology, this layout delivers 738 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 414 sq ft fire-separated workshop/garage bay and 81 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.
Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 9 distinct architectural zones: 1-BAY GARAGE (23'-0" × 18'-0", 414 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (9'-0" × 8'-0", 72 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (9'-0" × 10'-0", 90 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (17'-0" × 8'-6", 145 sq ft), WALK-IN CLOSET (6'-6" × 8'-6", 55 sq ft), FULL BATH (8'-6" × 8'-6", 72 sq ft). Plumbing rough-ins are consolidated across UTILITY & GEAR, FULL BATH, KITCHEN & ISLAND to minimize sub-slab trenching and manifold pipe runs. Sleeping quarters (PRIMARY SUITE at 145 sq ft) are acoustically buffered from the primary living core and positioned on exterior elevations for code-compliant egress glazing.
From a builder takeoff standpoint, the 32' clear-span width utilizes 2x6 lower walls + 14" engineered wood i-joist floor system bearing on 100 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~149 framing studs/posts) and 140 linear feet of interior partitions. The 8:12 dormered gable or gambrel roof (8:12 / 4:12 shed dormers) requires approximately 775 sq ft of roofing material (8 roofing squares), while the 6" reinforced garage slab w/ perimeter footings & apron pours at an estimated 16 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

Based on current national residential construction data for garage with loft / apartment above structures, the dried-in structural shell for Plan HG-1123 (576 sq ft base footprint) ranges from $37,500 to $48,000 ($38/sq ft baseline).

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 738 sq ft 1-bedroom layout?
Plan HG-1123 features 9 architecturally solved spaces inside its 32' × 18' footprint: 1-BAY GARAGE (23'-0" × 18'-0", 414 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (9'-0" × 8'-0", 72 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (9'-0" × 10'-0", 90 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (17'-0" × 8'-6", 145 sq ft), WALK-IN CLOSET (6'-6" × 8'-6", 55 sq ft), FULL BATH (8'-6" × 8'-6", 72 sq ft), LIVING & DINING (13'-6" × 9'-6", 128 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (9'-6" × 9'-6", 90 sq ft), STAIR LANDING (9'-0" × 9'-6", 86 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.
Can this 32' × 18' floor plan be built with post-frame, red-iron steel, or 2x6 stick framing?
Yes. Because the outer envelope is engineered on an even 32'-0" × 18'-0" structural grid (100 LF perimeter) with clear-span 8:12 trusses, a local structural engineer or building kit supplier can adapt the blueprint for 2x6 Lower Walls + 14" Engineered Wood I-Joist Floor System, conventional 2x6 stick framing at 16" o.c., laminated post-frame columns at 8' o.c., or structural insulated panels (SIPs).
What files are included in the free CAD blueprint download for Plan HG-1123?
Downloading Plan HG-1123 provides the high-resolution scalable vector floor plan (.SVG) with crisp architectural lineweights, exterior dimension strings (32'-0" × 18'-0"), room-by-room callouts, door swing arcs, and window schedules, plus instant browser printing for contractor bidding and preliminary municipal zoning review.
