Plan HG-2720 (514 Sq Ft (16×32) 1 Bed, 1 Bath Garage + Apt Floor Plan) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted garage with loft / apartment above blueprint engineered around a 32'-0" × 16'-0" structural grid (512 sq ft base footprint, 0.5:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Private Stair Entry + Balcony Loft topology, this layout delivers 658 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 368 sq ft fire-separated workshop/garage bay and 81 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 9 distinct architectural zones: 1-BAY GARAGE (23'-0" × 16'-0", 368 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (9'-0" × 7'-0", 63 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (9'-0" × 9'-0", 81 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (17'-0" × 7'-6", 128 sq ft), WALK-IN CLOSET (6'-6" × 7'-6", 49 sq ft), FULL BATH (8'-6" × 7'-6", 64 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 128 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 32' clear-span width utilizes 2x6 lower walls + 14" engineered wood i-joist floor system bearing on 96 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~146 framing studs/posts) and 133 linear feet of interior partitions. The 8:12 dormered gable or gambrel roof (8:12 / 4:12 shed dormers) requires approximately 689 sq ft of roofing material (7 roofing squares), while the 6" reinforced garage slab w/ perimeter footings & apron pours at an estimated 14 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 658 sq ft 1-bedroom layout?

Plan HG-2720 features 9 architecturally solved spaces inside its 32' × 16' footprint: 1-BAY GARAGE (23'-0" × 16'-0", 368 sq ft), UTILITY & GEAR (9'-0" × 7'-0", 63 sq ft), FOYER & STAIRS (9'-0" × 9'-0", 81 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (17'-0" × 7'-6", 128 sq ft), WALK-IN CLOSET (6'-6" × 7'-6", 49 sq ft), FULL BATH (8'-6" × 7'-6", 64 sq ft), LIVING & DINING (13'-6" × 8'-6", 115 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (9'-6" × 8'-6", 81 sq ft), STAIR LANDING (9'-0" × 8'-6", 77 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.

Can this 32' × 16' floor plan be built with post-frame, red-iron steel, or 2x6 stick framing?

Yes. Because the outer envelope is engineered on an even 32'-0" × 16'-0" structural grid (96 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).
