Garage Workshop Plans

Are Detached Garage Plans Right For You?

Have a large property with plenty of room on the lot? Prefer the look of a detached garage over an attached garage? Looking to create a guest suite that promises ultimate privacy?

Whatever your reason, you have options.

While you could undergo the complicated process of adding an attached garage — ensure the foundation of your existing home is level and stable, add structural enforcements to existing walls of the home, install heavy-weight doors, and haggle with local and regional building codes and authorities for a permit to add an attached garage — a detached garage is a much simpler alternative.

Besides being easier to build, our collection of detached garage plans is stocked with plans that are more accessible, spacious, and design-versatile than a traditional attached garage.

Garage Plans for Additional Living Space (Guest Suites + Above-Garage Apartments)

A detached garage can be a fantastic addition to any property, offering more than just a place to park your car or store your tools. Your detached garage can be transformed into a cozy living space that adds square footage to your home and increases your property value.

With the help of an experienced contractor, you can transform your detached garage into a guest suite, home office, home gym, art studio, craft/woodworking space, or a comfortable space for live-in family members. All you’ll need to do is add insulation for climate control, install plumbing and electricity for a kitchenette and bathroom, and consider adding a loft for extra sleeping space.

You can even rent out the space and treat your detached garage as a source of passive income, saving money and eventually covering the initial costs of building a garage that complies with local building codes.

While you could finish your basement, convert your attic, or opt for a conventional house addition integrated into your existing layout, detached garages with usable living spaces offer unparalleled privacy for out-of-towners.
