Potts is a specialized garage apartment plan providing 1,096 sq ft of heated living space situated above an expansive 1,819 sq ft ground-level workshop. Designed with a footprint of 30 ft 4 in in width and 60 ft in depth, this structure serves as a multi-purpose carriage house. The exterior is defined by a wraparound porch and a 776 sq ft deck, providing significant exterior living area that complements the high-capacity storage below.

The ground level is dedicated to a 6-car front-load garage, engineered to accommodate automotive storage, hobby equipment, or professional workshop needs. The building utilizes 2x6 exterior wall framing and a slab foundation to support the heavy-duty requirements of the lower-level garage space. A maximum building height of 25 ft 2 in and an 8:12 roof pitch provide the structure with a distinct profile suitable for various site contexts.

The upper-level residence contains two bedrooms and two 3/4 bathrooms, organized to maximize the 1,096 sq ft layout. The interior is anchored by a two-story great room that enhances the perceived volume of the living area, while the primary suite includes a dedicated walk-in closet. The second-floor plan also incorporates a laundry room, ensuring the living quarters function as a self-contained unit separate from the garage below.

Ceiling heights are varied to emphasize different zones; the first floor maintains a 10 ft height, providing clearance for garage equipment, while the second floor features an 8 ft 6 in ceiling. This vertical separation ensures that the living quarters remain distinct from the industrial-grade utility of the lower level. The integration of the wraparound porch and deck ensures that the interior living spaces maintain direct access to the surrounding environment.
