The Meyer Garage/ADU is a smartly designed 2-story garage apartment plan that packs a complete, comfortable living experience into 650 sq. ft. — with a 2-car garage below, a vaulted living room and kitchen above, a private bedroom suite with walk-in closet, and a 155 sq. ft. loft for extra sleeping or storage space.
A 144 sq. ft. deck with stairs leads you up to the main living level, while a generous 308 sq. ft. back patio with an outdoor sink and counter creates a functional outdoor living and entertaining zone. Whether you’re building a rental unit, a guest cottage, a home office, or a multi-generational living solution, the Meyer delivers exceptional value in a compact, well-designed footprint.

Private Bedroom Suite: The bedroom features a full en-suite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a private shower — a complete, self-contained living experience.
144 Sq. Ft. Entry Deck: A welcoming deck with stairs provides a private, elevated entry to the living level.
308 Sq. Ft. Back Patio with Outdoor Kitchen: A generous back patio with a built-in outdoor sink and counter creates a functional outdoor entertaining and dining space.
