Perfect Floor Plan for Shouse (Shop+House) Seekers w/ 8-Car Garage (HQ Plans & 3D Concepts)

The concept of a shouse (shop+house) is that it has a workshop or huge workstation attached to the living area. The workshop is not a separate building. It is attached to the property, making it simple to stroll from the living room to the workstation whenever needed. The garage/shop can be transformed into a gym, artist’s studio, car exhibition, play area, dance workshop, etc. 

On this floor plan, there is a large shop and office, and on the second floor, there is a completely functioning living accommodation. The shop/garage space is about 4,347 square feet and is ideal for any artist or someone who stays in their garage on a regular basis. The roaring ceiling adds grandness while windows on the top fill the shop with necessary light and air.

Floor Plans

An office is located immediately off the shop area and offers a convenient location for operating the company. It is equipped with a mudroom where all the outdoor accessories can be dumped. A powder room is incorporated next to the mudroom.  The choices are endless with this flexible plan. It eliminates traveling time from home to shop. 

A covered patio is an incredible addition to the floor plan. When not working in the garage, the tenant can relax without getting disrupted by the weather. Few picnic furniture and a swing will give the house the required warmth. It can also be transformed into a waiting area.

On the second story, this extremely fantastic one-bedroom apartment makes the most of its limited space. A chimney, surrounded by built-in bookcases, adds comfort to the living room. A wide island and a spacious walk-in pantry are included in the big kitchenette. The attached bathroom has twin vanities, a full bathtub, and a spacious walk-in wardrobe.  A laundry area and powder room are squeezed in for efficiency. It also has a window overlooking the garage to make sure things are in their place.

Constructing a shouse is also less expensive than creating a standard home. Finally, shouses are appealing to those seeking significant cost savings, additional space, and a variety of design possibilities. This plan can be an excellent choice if it tickmarks all your requirements. We wish you the best of luck with your house hunt! Make sure your checkout detailed plans for better understanding.  

Note: this home may be constructed using metal framing; however, you should always consult your local architect-engineer and receive a professional evaluation if such an option is feasible for this plan and your local building codes.
