Building a Tiny House that comes with a Garage is very possible. Tiny Houses come in different shapes, sizes, and designs. Not all have garages…but they could!
Garages could help to create extra space for storage, protect your valuables, or a place where you can conveniently work on projects that you can’t do inside your house. With a garage, you can keep your vehicles away from rain during the rainy seasons. Parking your car won’t be a big deal.
Apart from keeping your car safe, a tiny house garage can be a tiny house foundation, providing extra storage space and a place to host visitors.

#4. The Carriage House
This is another example of a tiny house with a garage. The down floor of the house has a standard living room and kitchen while upstairs is your bedroom with a stone fireplace. The garage is adjacent to this building and you can use the garage space to host visitors and store some items. You can use the top of the garage as a deck, with easy access from your bedroom.

#5. Tiny House With Open-Air Garage
This tiny house is also known as Casita Kuneho (little rabbit) in Joshua Tree, California. It is a 300 sq. ft. 2-story building. The tiny house is beautifully designed with a nicely arranged living space, kitchen, and bedroom. The top of the open-air garage also serves as a deck, from which you can see the sunset of the national park nearby.
The only disadvantage of this garage is that it can’t protect other items stored there except your car. So it’s easier to say the garage is only meant to shield your car, you can store other items.
#6. Tiny Home On Wheels
You may like to consider this example. It is a 400 sq. ft tiny house and can be moved from one place to another. One advantage of this tiny house is its mobility. There is a built-in garage that is even with the earth and allows for easy storing of the truck used in moving the tiny house. The design of this house is beautiful just like the style of living in modern trailers. Not to forget, the earth covers the wheels once you place it where you want to reside permanently.
#7. Two-Car Garage With Deck
This is another garage that can contain two cars. Even if you have one car, the extra garage space can be beneficial for storing other things or receiving guests. You can also use the deck of one of the garages for hosting guests. The layout of this tiny house is similar to Carriage House. The difference between this one and Carriage House is that a 2-car garage with a deck doesn’t have a lower-level entryway instead it has a second garage.
