Garage Plans

Our garages are designed to complement the style of our homes.  Garages range from small single car garages to multi-car buildings with living space above.  Some of our garages can also be considered to be accessory dwelling units (ADU's).  In many jurisdictions you may be able to extend the depth of some of our plans without any extra explicit changes to the drawings.

THE Carver, like our other tiny house plans, is named for a small community.  Carver, Oregon was first settled in 1846 by the Horace Baker family.  The name was changed a few times from the original Baker's Quarry (due to a massive basaltic rock formation) to Stone to Carver.  Though the last two names were surnames, they fit the description of the history very well.


The Baker cabin was built ten years later on the site and this day remains as a museum.  A restoration kept the old homestead standing.  The construction is of mortise and tenoned douglas fir logs with horse-hair for chinking.  We think that some of our standard energy efficient construction details would be more appropriate.  Much like the old cabin, we have a sleeping loft designed in, though ours is accessible from the inside.  Can you imagine those cold pioneer nights, walking out of your hearth-warmed cabin and climbing exterior steps in the snow to go to bed?

Unlike the Carver and Carver A, the 'B' is formed around a little more open space. The bedrooms are less than code minimum for most of the country. Caveat Emptor. Some places may allow you to build this version, some may not have a code that would be restricting. The 'master' bedroom is smaller than the required 70sf though a queen bed would fit (sort of). We are pretty pleased with our little bunk room which can accomodate two twin mattresses, one over the other. We even got a tiny closet in there. On top of that, there is 70 more square feet over the main bedroom and closet. The peak measures 7'-4" inside allowing for both laying down and standing up. Furthermore, the area over the bunk can be used as storage space or a very cozy sleeping loft; railing optional.
Build the Carver and indulge the inner pioneer!


All plans include four elevations, floor plans, foundation plans, at least two building sections, framing plans for the second floor and/or roof, and notes and construction details. This is everything you will need to build, but may not be everything you need to get a permit. Check with your local jurisdiction. Electrical layouts, cabinet elevations and engineering are not included.

Rather than one open floor plan we locked ourselves in to creating a couple of code-minimum rooms and adding all else around that.  The pocket office off the parlor adds a kitschy little space that gives a little more privacy to the bath area.  If you'd like more floor area, you can reduce the closet to a 2x4 reach-in and cover with a curtain.  That's the beauty of small spaces; decor norms go out the window and creativity can shine.

If the low slung look does not appeal to you, we moved our Tetris blocks around to form the Carver with a gable end forward and different loft.  The Carver B is something entirely different.

Since the mass of the porch is not right out of the front door, we moved our Tetris blocks around and formed the Carver A with a slightly larger porch and different loft.  The Carver B is something entirely different.

THE Albina (al-BEE-na) is named for a former entity in the city of Portland.  Established as a plat in 1872 and finally incorporated in 1887, the City of Albina stood on the east bank across from Portland, just north of the fledgling East Portland.  At a whopping 1/2 square mile at inception, Albina had big dreams.  Eventually the city grew to around 10 square miles before finally being merged into the big city.

A very simple design sits beyond the front porch.  Honestly, how much can you really do in 16' wide and 32' deep?  Let's not turn this into rocket science.  The size of the great room matches that of any modest house, a corner of which can be used for dining.  The kitchen has an optional island for extra prep area.  The bathroom is a mere 4x6 powder room with a shower head on one wall.  Or maybe it's a 4x6 shower with a toilet and sink in it.  The rear bedroom is of the same quality as the great room.

Up the stairs (ladder?) is a 300sf loft.  Do be mindful of your head.  Walking down the middle affords 7-8' of height, but the walls quickly dive to 3' in height.  This makes a great kid space or overflow sleeping area.

For the developer in you, we have determined that at least three of these charmers will fit onto a 50x100 lot.  Great for temporary worker housing, beach rentals or slumlords!  When combined with the Albina you could have quite a cute and diverse little community.  Much like Portland, East Portland, and Albina.

THE Maywood is named for a small city in Oregon that was born of determination. The town is 0.2 square miles in size and boasts 777 residents. What put Maywood Park on the map was not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. When their neighborhood was threatened by the impending I-205 Freeway, they incorporated as a city and fought the freeway all the way to Federal Court. The records say they lost all battles, but if you look today, the city is still incorporated and the freeway bypasses it.

We feel similarly about our little plan. Designed as an accessory dwelling unit, this plan was made for a purpose. With a footprint of a mere 16 feet square, it can fit in just about anywhere. All the comforts of home are here, as well as our trademark unique features. This time around we feature a spiral staircase. It takes less room than a conventional staircase and looks absolutely cool. We just know that you'll be able to squeeze some extra rent out of that starving college student because of it. For such a small unit, we highly recommend an on-demand water heater.

If your neighbors are making plans to buy your back 40 and build a pool, stop them in their tracks with your own 'Maywood Park'.

WILSADA Park is a beautiful former retreat just minutes from Carver, OR.  Family of friends now own the site privately.  We were lucky enough to attend a party there.  What remains are well maintained grounds with a dining pavilion, concession stand, main lodge, bathrooms and several outbuildings.  What struck us was the idyllic nature of the place and how peaceful it was to be there.  The world disappeared and time was irrelevant.

The name for our little plan was inspired by this paradise.  The inspiration came from the desire to design a 200sf retreat around a bed nook.  We've been inspired by several pictures of these and found them to be delightful.  Given that it's not technically a bedroom, these nooks can be as small as the mattress itself as ours is.  Minor variations in the bathroom exist.  The rest of the space is open with generous glazing through which to enjoy the outdoors.  The visual availability of the outdoors will make this tiny retreat feel not so tiny.  Enjoy the coziness!
