Plan HG-2048 (1,800 Sq Ft (30x60) 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 60'-0" × 30'-0" structural grid (1,800 sq ft base footprint, 0.5:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Drive-Through Carriage Loft + Primary Suite topology, this layout delivers 2,251 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 1,350 sq ft fire-separated workshop/garage bay and 156 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.
Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 9 distinct architectural zones: 2-BAY GARAGE (45'-0" × 30'-0", 1350 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (15'-0" × 13'-6", 203 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (15'-0" × 16'-6", 248 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (24'-6" × 14'-0", 343 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (20'-6" × 14'-0", 287 sq ft), FULL BATH (15'-0" × 14'-0", 210 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 343 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 287 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 60' clear-span width utilizes 2x6 lower walls + 14" engineered wood i-joist floor system bearing on 180 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~225 framing studs/posts) and 248 linear feet of interior partitions. The 8:12 dormered gable or gambrel roof (8:12 / 4:12 shed dormers) requires approximately 2,423 sq ft of roofing material (24 roofing squares), while the 6" reinforced garage slab w/ perimeter footings & apron pours at an estimated 41 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

A complete turnkey build—including the 41-yard concrete foundation, 248 linear feet of interior framing, MEP rough-ins for 2 bath(s), and interior finishes across 2,251 sq ft of heated space plus the 1,350 sq ft shop bay—ranges from $370,000 to $451,000.

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 2,251 sq ft 3-bedroom layout?
Plan HG-2048 features 9 architecturally solved spaces inside its 60' × 30' footprint: 2-BAY GARAGE (45'-0" × 30'-0", 1350 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (15'-0" × 13'-6", 203 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (15'-0" × 16'-6", 248 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (24'-6" × 14'-0", 343 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (20'-6" × 14'-0", 287 sq ft), FULL BATH (15'-0" × 14'-0", 210 sq ft), LIVING & DINING (26'-0" × 16'-0", 416 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (19'-0" × 16'-0", 304 sq ft), STAIR LANDING (15'-0" × 16'-0", 240 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.
Can this 60' × 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 60'-0" × 30'-0" structural grid (180 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).
