1-Bedroom Coastal Garage Apartment ADU Plan
650 SQ. FT. | 1 BED | 1 BATH | 2-CAR GARAGE
Cloudy Bay is a 650 square foot garage apartment with the same relaxed coastal look as the Cloudy Bay house, an open, airy upper floor over a full two-car garage.
Everything for living on your own is in it: a full kitchen, a living area with plenty of light, a bedroom with a walk-in closet and a washer and dryer in the unit. The living floor has nine-foot ceilings and the garage ten, tall enough for a truck or a boat, and the 32 by 25 foot footprint fits most backyards.
An open upper floor: kitchen and living in one bright room with a coastal feel.
Independent living: full kitchen, living space, bedroom, full bath and laundry hookups.
Nine-foot ceilings upstairs: the extra height makes the apartment feel bigger than 650 square feet.
Ten-foot ceilings in the garage: room for a tall truck, a boat on a trailer or storage overhead.
A separate building: parking for the property and a second place to live, which is value added to the lot.

What foundation does Cloudy Bay come with?
Cloudy Bay is drawn on a slab on grade foundation. A local engineer sizes the foundation for your soil and wind zone.
How tall is Cloudy Bay and how much ground does it cover?
The maximum ridge height is 27' 11". The footprint is 32' 0" x 25' 0", which is the number to check against your setbacks; porches and the garage count toward it even though they are not in the heated area. Heated living area is 650 square feet on 2 stories.
What comes in the plan set for Cloudy Bay, and what do I still need locally?
