Plan HG-2012 (1,620 Sq Ft (30x54) 3 Bed 2 Bath Garage with Loft / Apartment Above Floor Plan with Apartment Above (Drive-Through Carriage Loft + Primary Suite)) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted garage with loft / apartment above blueprint engineered around a 54'-0" × 30'-0" structural grid (1,620 sq ft base footprint, 0.56:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Drive-Through Carriage Loft + Primary Suite topology, this layout delivers 2,025 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 1,215 sq ft fire-separated workshop/garage bay and 141 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 9 distinct architectural zones: 2-BAY GARAGE (40'-6" × 30'-0", 1215 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (13'-6" × 13'-6", 182 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (13'-6" × 16'-6", 223 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (22'-0" × 14'-0", 308 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (18'-6" × 14'-0", 259 sq ft), FULL BATH (13'-6" × 14'-0", 189 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 308 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 259 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 54' clear-span width utilizes 2x6 lower walls + 14" engineered wood i-joist floor system bearing on 168 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~215 framing studs/posts) and 234 linear feet of interior partitions. The 8:12 dormered gable or gambrel roof (8:12 / 4:12 shed dormers) requires approximately 2,181 sq ft of roofing material (21 roofing squares), while the 6" reinforced garage slab w/ perimeter footings & apron pours at an estimated 37 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 2,025 sq ft 3-bedroom layout?

Plan HG-2012 features 9 architecturally solved spaces inside its 54' × 30' footprint: 2-BAY GARAGE (40'-6" × 30'-0", 1215 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (13'-6" × 13'-6", 182 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (13'-6" × 16'-6", 223 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (22'-0" × 14'-0", 308 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (18'-6" × 14'-0", 259 sq ft), FULL BATH (13'-6" × 14'-0", 189 sq ft), LIVING & DINING (23'-6" × 16'-0", 376 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (17'-0" × 16'-0", 272 sq ft), STAIR LANDING (13'-6" × 16'-0", 216 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.

Can this 54' × 30' floor plan be built with post-frame, red-iron steel, or 2x6 stick framing?

Yes. Because the outer envelope is engineered on an even 54'-0" × 30'-0" structural grid (168 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).
