Shouse Floor Plan

A shouse puts a full workshop or garage under the same roof as the house, so the two spaces need separate access without feeling disconnected. ArcSite's shouse floor plan template lays that split out for you, ready to adjust to your own project.

Key Features

This shouse floor plan includes

  • Large workshop/garage area
  • Open kitchen, dining, and living space
  • Primary suite with walk-in closet
  • Second bedroom
  • Mudroom, laundry room, pantry, and office
  • 600 sq ft covered porch

The workshop and living areas share one entry point rather than two separate ones, worth checking if you want shop traffic kept fully separate from the house.

Key Considerations When Designing a Shouse Floor Plan

The workshop or garage in a shouse needs its own access point so shop traffic and dust stay out of the living space, while insulation between the two areas keeps temperature and noise under control. In ArcSite, you can resize the shop or living side of this layout independently to match how you actually plan to use each space.
