Garage apartment plans are essentially a house plan for a garage space. Both functional and customizable, these plans typically consist of a freestanding structure detached from the main home. The ground-level space is often where the garage bays live, which are used for storing vehicles. The second floor is a fully functioning living space, which usually includes a kitchen, full bath, living area, and sleeping space. The number of rooms available in a garage apartment floor plan varies depending on the building's size and the main home lot. They range in size from studios to three full bedrooms.

If the garage is already in place, whether a detached garage or connected to the home, the apartment's full floor plan layout may vary somewhat.

Garage plans with an apartment offer versatility to homeowners looking to expand their home with extra living space. The space can accommodate frequent guests, provide a private living space for older family members or college students, work as a remote home office space, or create a rentable space to generate extra income.
