About the plan
This house is perfect for a couple or single person who wants room to stretch out and enjoy some dramatic spaces such as the spiral stairs, office loft, and luxurious second floor deck. With plenty of room to entertain six in the oversized dining booth, the party can expand outside onto the generous back patio. This design combines luxury with a compact lifestyle, and it can adapt to suit your changing living situation over time. Build a two-floor, 916 sq.ft. cottage or add a 245 sq.ft. first floor bedroom, which is detailed out on both the Study Plans and Construction Plans. The addition can be built during initial construction or added on years later.
Big Picture Information
Study Plans
If you’ve found the flyer compelling, the next step is to get serious about building the house. Our Study Plans consist of detailed drawings that let you discuss your project with a builder and begin to work up semi-realistic costs. For more info, click here:
Construction Plans
Whether you’re building a code-compliant plan or chose to add our Enhanced Efficiency details to create a high-performance home, you will start by reaching out via the contact page so we can work up a proposal. We’ve found that selling stock plans and leaving you trying to figure out how to get them built is not a good experience. We know there will need to be changes based on local building requirements, and you probably want to tweak things a bit yourself. For a more detailed explanation for why we only provide custom plans, click here:
Customized Plans
We recognize that the best houses are designed to fit the site, local climate and the owner’s lifestyle. We are happy to customize any of our plans, so please contact us for an initial discussion.
Natural Homes
We do not sell pre-designed natural homes on our website--there are just too many variables to make that feasible. Whether you are already knowledgeable about natural home building techniques, or want to begin to educate yourself, contact us for an initial discussion.
