Plan HG-1561 (841 Sq Ft (28x30) 2 Bed 2 Bath Backyard ADU / Granny Flat Floor Plan (Consolidated Wet-Wall + Open Great Room)) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted backyard adu / granny flat blueprint engineered around a 30'-0" × 28'-0" structural grid (840 sq ft base footprint, 0.93:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Consolidated Wet-Wall + Open Great Room topology, this layout delivers 841 sq ft of conditioned residential living area and 111 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 5 distinct architectural zones: PRIMARY SUITE (15'-6" × 12'-6", 194 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (14'-6" × 12'-6", 181 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (18'-6" × 15'-6", 287 sq ft), BATH & LAUNDRY (11'-6" × 7'-0", 81 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (11'-6" × 8'-6", 98 sq ft). Plumbing rough-ins are consolidated across BATH & LAUNDRY, KITCHEN & ISLAND to minimize sub-slab trenching and manifold pipe runs. Sleeping quarters (PRIMARY SUITE at 194 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 181 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 30' clear-span width utilizes 2x6 dimensional lumber framing / panelized sip option bearing on 116 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~135 framing studs/posts) and 92 linear feet of interior partitions. The 3:12 architectural standing-seam shed / low-slope gable requires approximately 970 sq ft of roofing material (12 roofing squares), while the stem wall or monolithic concrete slab-on-grade pours at an estimated 17 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

Use the interactive Regional Cost Multiplier on this page to adjust for your local labor market and owner-builder sweat equity.

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 841 sq ft 2-bedroom layout?

Plan HG-1561 features 5 architecturally solved spaces inside its 30' × 28' footprint: PRIMARY SUITE (15'-6" × 12'-6", 194 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (14'-6" × 12'-6", 181 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (18'-6" × 15'-6", 287 sq ft), BATH & LAUNDRY (11'-6" × 7'-0", 81 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (11'-6" × 8'-6", 98 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.

Can this 30' × 28' floor plan be built with post-frame, red-iron steel, or 2x6 stick framing?

Yes. Because the outer envelope is engineered on an even 30'-0" × 28'-0" structural grid (116 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).
