DFD-1993 (above) is a neat little standalone design. This simple Craftsman garage matches many homes. Plus, it offers parking for 2 and bright interior space that can fit just about anything. Just imagine your workbench or tools waiting for you in the roomy nook that lies beyond the parking area. Open areas such as this are perfect for big equipment that might not fit in a regular attached garage.
Our customers attest that workshop plans like this also make relaxing retreats! Perhaps you need a man cave or another dedicated space of your own? Maybe you’d like to supplement your income with rent, or always have room to welcome guests? Imagine what you could do with the included apartment!

Also consider what you might want to get in the future and if the space has the flexibility to accommodate. When you have this information, you can focus on finding the perfect plan for you and your wallet.

Home Plans with a Workshop… Great for Any Use
Extra storage, hobby spaces, even a pool house―we’ve seen workshops do it all! Because of this great flexibility, home plans with a workshop actually end up being favorites for our customers.
Some of the best workshop spaces even embrace the most unique lots. Take DFD-4122 (below), for example. This design comes with a basement-level workshop in the rear-entry, drive-under garage. With so much room for storage, you could easily organize tools and drive in a riding lawn mower or other large equipment. If you have a lot that slopes down from the street, this would be a great choice!

You don’t have to be a diehard hobbyist or a master woodworker to enjoy a workshop. Many homeowners choose these plans simply for their added storage for everyday items.
Lots of these homes come with built-in storage and space to add custom solutions! For example, a home like DFD-1163 (below) can help you lead a clutter-free life. Notice how its garage has a workshop space including a workbench. Plus, there’s a large walk-in storage closet behind it. You won’t need to climb up to the attic to get decorations when you can store them in the garage. This space could also organize outdoor gear or serve as an extended pantry. It’s up to you!
