Cloudy Bay ADU

1-Bedroom Garage Apartment Plan

650 SQ. FT. | 1 BED | 1 BATH | 2-CAR GARAGE

Cloudy Bay is a beautifully proportioned 650 sq. ft. garage apartment plan that brings a relaxed, upscale coastal sensibility to the ADU category. Boasting an open, airy upper-level residence above a full ground-floor 2-car garage, this blueprint is the ideal choice for homeowners wanting a self-contained living suite that does not compromise on architectural style.

Every independent living amenity is seamlessly integrated: a full kitchen, a light-filled living area, a private bedroom with a walk-in closet, and an in-unit washer/dryer—all tucked into a highly versatile, compact footprint that fits comfortably in most backyards.

Key Design Features

Airy Upper-Level Great Room: An open-concept kitchen and living area designed to cultivate a relaxed, light-filled coastal apartment atmosphere.

Completely Independent Living: Outfitted with a full kitchen, living space, master bedroom, full bath, and dedicated laundry hookups.

Generous 9’ Living Ceilings: Nine-foot upper-level ceilings significantly open up the visual volume, making the layout feel substantially larger.
