Garage plans with apartments offer a lot of versatility. For your clients building a backyard accessory dwelling unit to rent out, the two-bedroom apartment above this spacious garage design feels contemporary and open. Alternatively, those wanting to build a larger home could tackle this part first, and then live in it while completing construction.

On the exterior, simple modern styling creates bold curb appeal.
