Plan HG-1484 (832 Sq Ft (26x32) 2 Bed 2 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" × 26'-0" structural grid (832 sq ft base footprint, 0.81:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Side-Vestibule Garage + Balcony Apartment topology, this layout delivers 1,067 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 598 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" × 26'-0", 598 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (9'-0" × 11'-6", 104 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (9'-0" × 14'-6", 131 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (12'-6" × 12'-0", 150 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (11'-0" × 12'-0", 132 sq ft), FULL BATH (8'-6" × 12'-0", 102 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 150 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 132 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 116 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~167 framing studs/posts) and 169 linear feet of interior partitions. The 8:12 dormered gable or gambrel roof (8:12 / 4:12 shed dormers) requires approximately 1,120 sq ft of roofing material (11 roofing squares), while the 6" reinforced garage slab w/ perimeter footings & apron pours at an estimated 21 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 1,067 sq ft 2-bedroom layout?
Plan HG-1484 features 9 architecturally solved spaces inside its 32' × 26' footprint: 1-BAY GARAGE (23'-0" × 26'-0", 598 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (9'-0" × 11'-6", 104 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (9'-0" × 14'-6", 131 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (12'-6" × 12'-0", 150 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (11'-0" × 12'-0", 132 sq ft), FULL BATH (8'-6" × 12'-0", 102 sq ft), LIVING & DINING (13'-6" × 14'-0", 189 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (9'-6" × 14'-0", 133 sq ft), STAIR LANDING (9'-0" × 14'-0", 126 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' × 26' 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" × 26'-0" structural grid (116 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).
