This one-story shouse plan pairs 2,290 square feet of living space with a 40x40 shop in a rectangular metal building. The overall footprint measures 67'-3" × 58'-9", and a covered porch leads into a 6'-4" × 10'-11" foyer.
The great room, 18'-2" × 23'-11", sits beside an 11'-5" × 10'-11" dining area and a 12'-9" × 14'-8" kitchen with island. A 12'-9" × 5'-2" walk-in pantry adds storage. The laundry and mudroom connect the house to the shop, which measures 33'-7" × 42'-5" inside. A 29'-9" bedroom hall serves the sleeping rooms: Bedrooms 2 and 4 each measure 14'-8" × 8'-8", and Bedroom 3 measures 8'-8" × 13'-11". The primary suite includes an 11'-3" × 8'-6" bath and a walk-in closet.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits owners who want a four-bedroom single-story home with a workshop under the same roof. It fits those who need room for vehicles, tools or hobby projects next to everyday living space.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Shouse, rectangular metal building, one story: 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, open great room with kitchen island and walk-in pantry, laundry and mudroom leading to a 40 x 40 ft shop, covered porch, about 2,300 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 shouse?
A shouse combines a shop and a house in one building, often with a metal-building structure. This plan places the living space and a 40x40 shop together, linked through the laundry and mudroom.
Can this shouse plan be built as a metal building?
The plan is drawn as a rectangular, one-story building suited to metal construction. Final framing, foundation and insulation details depend on your site, local code and the metal building supplier, so have them reviewed by a local engineer or builder.
Can I customize this plan with AI?
Yes. You can describe changes in plain language, such as resizing a bedroom, moving the pantry or changing the shop layout, and the AI proposes an updated plan. Review any revised room sizes before you use the plan for pricing or permits.
Can I use the plan in CAD software as a DXF file?
DXF is a common exchange format that opens in most CAD programs, so you can measure, annotate or redraw the layout. Check scale and units after import, and have a licensed professional verify the drawings before construction.
