This one-story plan fits a 40'-0" × 60'-0" rectangle and provides 1,320 sq ft of living space with two bedrooms and two baths. The entry starts in a 10'-10" × 5'-5" foyer and leads to a great room of 10'-10" × 20'-7", with the kitchen (11'-7" × 12'-5") and dining area (11'-7" × 9'-9") in the same open living zone.
The primary suite has a 16'-6" × 10'-5" bedroom, a 9'-1" × 5'-2" bath and a 9'-1" × 4'-10" walk-in closet. Bedroom 2 measures 8'-11" × 11'-3" and uses the 6'-4" × 7'-0" hall bath. A mudroom (6'-2" × 8'-4") and laundry (5'-1" × 8'-4") handle daily entry and chores. The 26'-0" × 35'-6" shop, a garage with an overhead door used as a workshop, sits inside the same rectangle. A covered porch is outside it.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits owners who want a compact two-bedroom home and a real workshop on one rectangular footprint. It fits hobbyists, tradespeople and rural or acreage buyers who prefer one-level living.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Shop house on a 40 x 60 ft rectangular footprint, one story: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, open great room with kitchen and dining, laundry and mudroom, and a 40 x 30 ft shop (a garage with an overhead door, used as a workshop) inside the same rectangle, covered porch outside the rectangle, about 1,200 sq ft of living space.” An AI architect drafted the room program, a layout solver placed every wall and door, and the plan was checked automatically for room sizes, circulation and daylight. The same project produced the PDF sheets, layered DXF, IFC model and 3D model you can download above.
Frequently asked questions
What is a shop house plan?
A shop house plan combines living space and a workshop or garage under one roof. In this design, the shop is a garage with an overhead door that is used as a workshop, and it sits inside the same 40 × 60 ft rectangle as the home.
Can I build this 40x60 shop house plan as shown?
The layout is drawn as a single-story rectangle with a covered porch outside it, which keeps the footprint simple. Foundation, framing, energy and zoning requirements vary by site, so have a local designer or engineer review the plan before you apply for a permit.
Can I customize this plan with AI?
Yes. You can describe changes in plain language, such as moving a wall, resizing a room or changing the shop layout, and the AI updates the plan. Review the result against your local code and your site before building.
Can I use the plan in CAD or as a DXF file?
The plan can be exported as a DXF file, which opens in most CAD programs. That lets you check dimensions, add site or structural details, or share the drawing with your builder or engineer.
