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!
