Permit-ready carriage house drawings that blend garage space with living quarters
A properly designed carriage house adds real function to your property — a place for vehicles below, a guest suite or workshop above. We draw plans that builders can actually build from.
A garage doesn't have to be just for cars. Think of it as a blank canvas.
A garage with living space above changes how you use your property. We draw plans that make every square foot count.
Guest suite upstairs
A private bedroom, bathroom, and small kitchen over the garage. Your visitors get their own space.
Home office retreat
Separate from the main house. Quiet, with its own entrance and natural light from dormer windows.
Rental income potential
A finished apartment over the garage can offset your mortgage. We design layouts tenants actually want.
Workshop with loft
Ground floor for tools and projects, upstairs for storage or a lounge. Built for the way you actually work.
Studio or creative space
High ceilings, good north light, and a separate entrance. Ideal for an artist, musician, or maker.

Each plan we draw starts with what you need — garage storage downstairs, living space upstairs, and a layout that actually works on your property.
Over a decade of building experience goes into every garage plan we draw
We don't just design garages — we design garages that builders actually want to build. Every plan starts with real-world experience, not a textbook.
Is the investment worth it?
We were on the fence about custom plans versus a stock garage. The 3D renderings alone saved us from a costly layout mistake. Permit-ready drawings made the approval process smoother than we expected.

I was nervous about building a custom garage with living space above. The drawings were detailed, the builder knew exactly what to do. No back-and-forth at the permit office. That was worth the investment.

I've worked with other drafters before. These plans felt different — more thought given to how things actually fit together on site. Small details like roof tie-in and clear section details made a big difference to my framers.
