THE Maple garage was inspired during a train ride.  Rail buildings, especially those from the golden age of the iron horse are so beautiful in their functionality.  This particular building was next to a track near the main depot.  We can only imagine what it might be.  Switching house?  Conductor's lounge?  Speakeasy?  Whatever it is the form and style were beautiful.  We have taken the concept and created something even more versatile.  Perhaps you simply need a garage and 384sf apartment on your property.  Or maybe you need to cleverly disguise your auto shop within a neighborhood.  Downstairs can service one car at a time while your secretary checks out rail schedules and Prada purses upstairs.

If you like a little more industrial look, consider using the alternate elevation.  We used the original inspiration's decor, brick siding and metal roof.  A metal staircase would complete the outfit.

This plan is sold with a slab style foundation included. If you need to modify to a suspended garage, please contact an engineer local to your area.  



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.

THE Pine series are our mid-level garages, for when you need a double car detached garage or a classy looking shop or storage space. The Pine will fit in comfortably with a footprint of 20 feet wide and 20 feet deep. The 'A' is 24x24 feet and comes with double 8 foot wide garage doors plus a 336sf bonus room upstairs.

For maximum use of minimum space consider the Pine B. If the Pine brothers were Italians, 'B' would be named Guido. Guido has been stretched out to 32' deep. Two cars will easily fit inside, plus a shop or small host of 'projects'. Upstairs is a 500sf apartment or meetin' room. A bathroom is outfitted as well as spaces for a kitchen and bed.

All garages are framed with 2x4 walls for maximum floor space. If you preferred to stick frame the roof of the Pine you could gain extra storage in the rafters. You might also inquire of your truss company about using attic style trusses. You might have limited headroom, but you could get your Christmas decor out of sight and throw it up above. The roofs are 12:12 pitch, but of course you can change that to suit your needs.

THE Pine series are our mid-level garages, for when you need a double car detached garage or a classy looking shop or storage space. The Pine will fit in comfortably with a footprint of 20 feet wide and 20 feet deep. A 16 foot garage door is specified. If space is at a premium and you would like more storage in one building, consider the Pine A. This brother to the Pine has been to the gym a few more times and eats his Wheaties. The 'A' is 24x24 feet and comes with double 8 foot wide garage doors plus a 336sf bonus room upstairs.

For maximum use of minimum space consider the Pine B.

SOMEWHAT of a hybrid or a freak of nature, this bizarre garage happened by accident. We were curious how much space we could get above a garage for a small loft or office. Before we knew it, the thing was 2 cars long with big fangs and a bad hairdo. We figured someone out there would have a need for it, so we put it up.  Being a 2-car we could have called it a Pine, but being only one car wide we decided on the ashen lot.

There is ample room for 2 cars as well as a workbench against the side or back walls.  The side windows have no structural significance; you could move or remove them for your viewing pleasure.  Any standard side-hinge door could be put onto the back wall with a 2x12 header.  If you'd like to build a carwash, talk to your engineer about adding another overhead door on the back.

Upstairs is a small but very usable 264sf.  With a little extra plumbing, a small bath and kitchen would turn it into a studio apartment.  Or you could use the space as an office, artist studio, or light storage.  For a while we toyed around with installing a lift in order to store a car in this space.

This garage is framed with 2x4 walls for maximum floor space.  Bonus style trusses are called out for ease of framing, and there's a little bit of sticking through the center of the plan in order to create the dormer.  If you preferred to stick frame the entire roof you might gain extra storage in the rafters. The roof is 8:12 pitch, but of course you can change that to suit your needs.

This plan is sold with a slab style foundation included. If you need to modify to a suspended garage, please contact an engineer local to your area.

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.
