These classic 1-story Shop-House concepts are easy to design and easy to finish. The shop is usually large and tall to accommodate hobby/farm vehicles and is often just as important as the living space.
The attached or built-in living quarters could be a space where you park-store-sleep in your weekend getaway, an extra bedroom on your property for friends and relatives when they visit you, temporary living space when you build your custom home, your future “downsized” residence, or simply living space required by code. The Bristow is also an excellent choice for lakeside living, or any vacation home property for those who love to adventure!
Whether you’re looking for a compact, functional home away from home where you can also focus on your hobbies, or you are building a backyard shop and guest house combo, the Bristow I is the ideal, medium-sized Shop-House. A single-story open floor plan allows you to configure the layout of your space according to your personal needs.
This model features a spacious shop with room for tall vehicles, extra storage space in the mezzanine level, and an easy to finish single level, 2- bedroom living space. This structure could function as a temporary home and combined storage space, or a garage with a weekend getaway space. Either way, your family will enjoy this Morton Shop-House for a long time to come!
This versatile L-shaped Shop-House boasts a compact 2 bedroom living quarters as well as a functional shop that provides room for your hobbies, vehicles, and large equipment. The shop is configured with a drive through RV space for convenience. The single level easy to finish living space is a great way to increase the value of your investment, increase its resale value or make it easier to obtain permits. Stretch this concept in any direction to increase storage!
