Winthrop Studio Garage/ADU Plan

Studio Garage Apartment ADU with Vaulted Ceilings, Outdoor Deck & Kitchenette

576 SQ. FT. | STUDIO | 1 BATH | 2-STORY | 2-CAR GARAGE

The Winthrop Studio Garage/ADU Plan is the ultimate flexible living solution — a 576 sq. ft. studio apartment above a 2-car garage, designed to maximize every square foot with vaulted ceilings, a kitchenette, and a private outdoor deck. Whether you’re building a rental unit, a guest suite, a home office, or a creative studio, the Winthrop Studio delivers a bright, open, and completely functional space in a compact, cost-efficient footprint.

Key Design Features

Vaulted Ceilings: Soaring vaulted ceilings over the studio living space create an airy, open atmosphere that feels far larger than the footprint.

Private Outdoor Deck: Stairs lead to a dedicated outdoor deck — perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or casual outdoor living.

Kitchenette: A well-designed kitchenette provides essential cooking and prep functionality for daily living or short-term rental guests.

Flexible Use: Functions equally well as an ADU, garage apartment, rental unit, home office, or creative studio.

2-Car Garage: A full 2-car garage at ground level provides secure parking and additional storage.

The Design Philosophy

Every blueprint in our collection is crafted with a strict focus on structural flow and spatial efficiency. The Winthrop Studio proves that a studio doesn’t have to feel small — with vaulted ceilings, a private deck, and a smart open layout, this is a space that lives large and works hard.
