I would turn the lower area into a home theater. Build a shed next to the house for the car. 😁

I have semi-detached garage and I was thinking of remodeling and putting a master bedroom on top of it adding square footage to my home. This is close to what I was looking for!

That is exactly the size of the master bathroom I want to build! Seriously though it's gorgeous, I wonder how well it would scale up. I love open floor plans and bright cheery spaces with copious amounts of windows. Even if it doesn't scale up well it would be a nice design for a rental to put on small piece of property across from the main house.

I really like the idea of foothold homes, building and living in the guest house first, while the main house is being built.

Very interesting, first time i see someone suggesting building the guest house and live in it as a first step. It is a bright idea, makes you start small and gain experience for the bigger project. Very inspiring, thanks

Usually when I see 3-D rendering there is not a walk-through of why it works. I appreciated this video. Thank you.

It's a perfect size as it is, and I would not need to build a bigger one. I love it.

Living in Texas, this slab garage house is a great idea! The workshop in the back of the garage would be perfect for my photography business.

Love this for an accessory dwelling or initial building on a side. Airbnb’ing this would be another great idea.

Love this plan add 4ft to the left of garage door for a row of storage shelves and a little more space inside. Then add 4ftx2ft more to the deck and it would be perfect.

Or you could skip the garage and park in a carport and use the downstairs for more living space. The only thing that bothers me about putting solar on that roof is if you are looking to use those big windows for passive solar heat gain in the winter, the roof would be facing north when it should face south.

I live in an area with and 850 sq ft lane home limit so I like this idea. I'd add all that sq footage to the bedroom/living room, bring the staircase inside so you have added wall dimensions without impacting sq ft, and this would leave some extra sq ft area on the garage level to potentially build out as living space after inspections.

I think a better concept for this build is to extend the patio and lose the garage. Just make the bottom portion into a mirror of the upstairs and the patio acts as a car port. This allows to add accent pieces on the bottom with slot lighting and a place to hide the trashcans.

I've often thought of a living area over a garage, but stairs would have to be inside. A two car garage with a loft overhead over one side would also allow me to have parking and a workshop down stairs. And the extra height over half the garage would allow taller vehicles.

Very nice. But not for the crazy weather states. For those, I would extend the exterior wall another 5ft to enclose the staircase, and move the laundry down to the garage level. Also, looking at the deck...I would extend it out another car length and enclose the exterior entry door/stairway. lastly, a retractable awning would be nice above the sliding glass doors.

Love this I probably installation the garage and make a 2 bedroom.

This is lovely

wow this is amazing. I dream of living in something like this. But Id love a larger garage below. maybe a 4 car oversize with the tiny home on top. That way you can have 2 cars and a large shop with a lift.

I'm not wealthy were this could be a guest house. But now that I'm retired it could be a great full time house. As I'm sure allot of the tiny home community would like it. Awesome video and explanation.🙏😎✝️☮️

FYI; just to clarify, my home design is verry different from the post, its only similar due to the face that I have a separate garage with suite above. this design would not do well in Hawaii, it rains a lot there and the sun is heavy during the day, thus at lease 3' over hang for your eves is a must, not to mention a very large lanai is also a must :)

I just finished designing a version of this style of home. I need storage, more than anything, so I designed the new home with a large (2300 s.f.) garage with an 100 s.f., 2 bedroom, 2 bath over, with internal stairs and a garage space for the folks that I rent the upstairs to. I get my shop and storage area and a rental suite to boot. I am a designer by trade, so it has been fun creating something for myself for a change.

I've been thinking about similar design for du/triplex. I've been thinking at least a 3car garage to make room for 2 bedroom upstairs.

It would also add property value (and in cases like my state - higher property taxes), FYI.

This works for non snowy climates, an exposed, uncovered outdoor staircase is a nightmare in winter. I'd like to se a slightly wider footprint and incorporating the staircase, moving it indoors.

There's a similar home design called the Bozeman by Zip Kit Homes that has the stairs on the inside..perfect in my opinion, but they only currently build in groups of ten or more.

A great design. I'd possibly have a one car space downstairs and fit a small office, laundry and some storage areas. Perhaps a second toilet? This same design could be anlarged a little bit, to fit in a second bedroom and the top floor could even be slightly higher to fit a loft bed with space underneath. Lots of possible variations along this same theme. I'm a big fan of using verticle space.

I’ll have something like this built for my starter home and then use it as a rental once I have enough money for a bigger family home.
