Plan HG-2888 (864 Sq Ft (24×36) 1 Bed, 1 Bath Shop House Floor Plan) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted shop house (shouse) blueprint engineered around a 36'-0" × 24'-0" structural grid (864 sq ft base footprint, 0.67:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Attached Shop + Mudroom Entry topology, this layout delivers 503 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 360 sq ft fire-separated workshop/garage bay and 168 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 6 distinct architectural zones: 1-BAY SHOP / GARAGE (15'-0" × 24'-0", 360 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (14'-6" × 10'-6", 152 sq ft), WALK-IN CLOSET (6'-6" × 10'-6", 68 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (11'-6" × 13'-6", 155 sq ft), BATH & MUDROOM (9'-6" × 6'-0", 57 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (9'-6" × 7'-6", 71 sq ft). Plumbing rough-ins are consolidated across BATH & MUDROOM, KITCHEN & ISLAND to minimize sub-slab trenching and manifold pipe runs. Sleeping quarters (PRIMARY SUITE at 152 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 36' clear-span width utilizes red-iron i-beam or heavy post-frame clear-span (14'–16' eave) bearing on 120 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~146 framing studs/posts) and 100 linear feet of interior partitions. The 4:12 26-gauge galvalume / painted steel gable roof requires approximately 1,020 sq ft of roofing material (13 roofing squares), while the 6" 4000-psi fiber-mesh shop slab + 4" living slab pours at an estimated 20 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

Frequently Asked Questions • Plan HG-2888

Building costs, foundation specs, egress & CAD customization questions

How much does it cost to build the 36x24 864 Sq Ft (24×36) 1 Bed, 1 Bath Shop House Floor Plan (HG-2888)?

Based on current national residential construction data for shop house (shouse) structures, the dried-in structural shell for Plan HG-2888 (864 sq ft base footprint) ranges from $25,000 to $32,000 ($30/sq ft baseline). A complete turnkey build—including the 20-yard concrete foundation, 100 linear feet of interior framing, MEP rough-ins for 1 bath(s), and interior finishes across 503 sq ft of heated space plus the 360 sq ft shop bay—ranges from $80,000 to $97,000. 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 503 sq ft 1-bedroom layout?

Plan HG-2888 features 6 architecturally solved spaces inside its 36' × 24' footprint: 1-BAY SHOP / GARAGE (15'-0" × 24'-0", 360 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (14'-6" × 10'-6", 152 sq ft), WALK-IN CLOSET (6'-6" × 10'-6", 68 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (11'-6" × 13'-6", 155 sq ft), BATH & MUDROOM (9'-6" × 6'-0", 57 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (9'-6" × 7'-6", 71 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.

Can this 36' × 24' floor plan be built with post-frame, red-iron steel, or 2x6 stick framing?

Yes. Because the outer envelope is engineered on an even 36'-0" × 24'-0" structural grid (120 LF perimeter) with clear-span 4:12 trusses, a local structural engineer or building kit supplier can adapt the blueprint for Red-Iron I-Beam or Heavy Post-Frame Clear-Span (14'–16' Eave), conventional 2x6 stick framing at 16" o.c., laminated post-frame columns at 8' o.c., or structural insulated panels (SIPs).
