It looks like that is also where the only "people door" around there to enter the house from the outside is?

We incorporated a people door into the side of our garage and it is the most used door in the house. All of our friends know that is the door we use to come in and out (when not driving a car in) and they use it as well.


That's TBD -- since it was kind of a last minute add on. There will need to be a separate dog door.... and yes that's a man door.

The back of the garage is into the hillside or I'd have a door back there... So what happens is the front of the garage is at ground level -- but the two bedrooms above it are 2 story - but they end up at ground level on the back side and have sliding glass doors out to a patio area. You'd have to see the crazy ground this is being built on to really see how it all works -- but there's three or 4 completely separate elevations. The garage is one level - the living space (kitchen etc) is up about half a story - our bedroom area is up another half a story - and the junior suite is on the same level as the two guest rooms above the garage even though it's behind the living areas "up the hill". The ground has a big ass draw through it - and we used that draw as a means to access the house and build the shop etc.
