It is completely possible for a loft-style house to have a detached garage. The loft can be constructed over another part of the house if it is a one-story plan, ranch-style house. For a two-story house that needs a loft added to it, you would probably have to add-on a room addition on the first floor to be able to create a loft but it is possible. The average cost per square foot to build a loft onto an existing house is about $90 to $110 per square foot. So, yes, it is possible to have plans for a loft-style house created to also feature a detached garage if the homeowner prefers the plans to be completed that way.

Does loft-style work well with a rustic interior decor?  Or is it more suited to a contemporary interior?

Loft style will work with a rustic interior décor for the simple fact that it was originally inspired by barns. My aunt built a gorgeous one-story house with high ceilings and a loft back in the 1980s. Her home was created to resemble a barn and it featured a rustic interior. I prefer a more contemporary look and feel to a home and can see how I could have changed her home to that type of décor pretty easily simply by changing the décor features.
