1,440 Sq Ft (36x40) 3 Bed 2 Bath Garage with Loft / Apartment Above Floor Plan with Apartment Above

Plan HG-2379 (1,440 Sq Ft (36x40) 3 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 40'-0" × 36'-0" structural grid (1,440 sq ft base footprint, 0.9:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Side-Vestibule Garage + Balcony Apartment topology, this layout delivers 1,800 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 1,080 sq ft fire-separated workshop/garage bay and 105 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 9 distinct architectural zones: 1-BAY GARAGE (30'-0" × 36'-0", 1080 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (10'-0" × 16'-0", 160 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (10'-0" × 20'-0", 200 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (16'-0" × 16'-6", 264 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (14'-0" × 16'-6", 231 sq ft), FULL BATH (10'-0" × 16'-6", 165 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 264 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 231 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 40' clear-span width utilizes 2x6 lower walls + 14" engineered wood i-joist floor system bearing on 152 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~197 framing studs/posts) and 223 linear feet of interior partitions. The 8:12 dormered gable or gambrel roof (8:12 / 4:12 shed dormers) requires approximately 1,938 sq ft of roofing material (19 roofing squares), while the 6" reinforced garage slab w/ perimeter footings & apron pours at an estimated 33 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.
