Plan HG-1498 (938 Sq Ft (26x36) 2 Bed 2 Bath Backyard ADU / Granny Flat Floor Plan (Split-Bedroom Privacy Wing + Center Great Room)) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted backyard adu / granny flat blueprint engineered around a 36'-0" × 26'-0" structural grid (936 sq ft base footprint, 0.72:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Split-Bedroom Privacy Wing + Center Great Room topology, this layout delivers 938 sq ft of conditioned residential living area and 105 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 6 distinct architectural zones: PRIMARY SUITE (11'-0" × 15'-6", 171 sq ft), EN-SUITE BATH (11'-0" × 10'-6", 116 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (15'-0" × 11'-6", 173 sq ft), GREAT ROOM (15'-0" × 14'-6", 218 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (10'-0" × 15'-0", 150 sq ft), HALL BATH (10'-0" × 11'-0", 110 sq ft). Plumbing rough-ins are consolidated across EN-SUITE BATH, KITCHEN & ISLAND, HALL BATH to minimize sub-slab trenching and manifold pipe runs. Sleeping quarters (PRIMARY SUITE at 171 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 150 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 36' clear-span width utilizes 2x6 dimensional lumber framing / panelized sip option bearing on 124 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~141 framing studs/posts) and 108 linear feet of interior partitions. The 3:12 architectural standing-seam shed / low-slope gable requires approximately 1,081 sq ft of roofing material (13 roofing squares), while the stem wall or monolithic concrete slab-on-grade pours at an estimated 19 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 938 sq ft 2-bedroom layout?

Plan HG-1498 features 6 architecturally solved spaces inside its 36' × 26' footprint: PRIMARY SUITE (11'-0" × 15'-6", 171 sq ft), EN-SUITE BATH (11'-0" × 10'-6", 116 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (15'-0" × 11'-6", 173 sq ft), GREAT ROOM (15'-0" × 14'-6", 218 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (10'-0" × 15'-0", 150 sq ft), HALL BATH (10'-0" × 11'-0", 110 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.

Can this 36' × 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 36'-0" × 26'-0" structural grid (124 LF perimeter) with clear-span 3:12 trusses, a local structural engineer or building kit supplier can adapt the blueprint for 2x6 Dimensional Lumber Framing / Panelized SIP Option, conventional 2x6 stick framing at 16" o.c., laminated post-frame columns at 8' o.c., or structural insulated panels (SIPs).
