New American Carriage House Garage Plan with Modern Farmhouse Character
A timeless 2-car garage design blending New American architecture with modern farmhouse detailing, ideal for ADUs, guest suites, or future living conversions.
This thoughtfully designed New American carriage house garage plan delivers classic curb appeal, efficient storage, and long-term flexibility in a compact footprint. With approximately 530 square feet of interior space, this plan is ideal as a detached garage, workshop, or future garage apartment (ADU). Its balanced proportions, gabled roofline, and farmhouse-inspired exterior allow it to integrate seamlessly into suburban, rural, coastal, or traditional neighborhoods.
Designed with versatility in mind, this structure works beautifully as a standalone garage today while offering the architectural foundation to become a guest suite, casita, or studio space in the future. The clean geometry and restrained detailing reflect modern New American design principles while maintaining a welcoming, residential aesthetic.

Architectural Style: New American with Modern Farmhouse Influence
This plan is rooted in New American architecture, a style known for blending classic proportions with modern detailing. The farmhouse influence is expressed through its simple rooflines, understated trim, and approachable scale. Unlike rustic farmhouses, this design leans clean and refined—perfect for homeowners seeking timeless appeal without excessive ornamentation.
The carriage house form gives this garage a residential character rather than a purely utilitarian look, making it an excellent choice for properties where aesthetics matter just as much as function. For inspiration on how garage structures are increasingly designed as architectural assets, resources like ArchDaily highlight the growing trend toward elevated accessory structures.
Interior Flexibility & Future Conversion Potential
