With schoolhouse like charm, this two-story house plan easily will accommodate a home site that rises in the back, such as those built into a hillside. The fa'ade's traditional elements - solid porch balustrades, awnings, and gable roofline - are given a modern edge when combined with horizontal siding and geometric windows. These elements make the home an apt candidate for a development of both traditional and contemporary homes.
The interior of the home is as carefully detailed as the exterior. The front porch leads into a hall that feeds traffic into a large living room with a fireplace and built-in media center. The living room is open to the kitchen and dining room. Angled dining room patio doors slide open to connect with an outdoor patio. A curved edge on the kitchen island - rather than one that is squared off - promotes a visual connection with the living room and acts as a counterpoint to the angles of the dining room patio doors.
A flight of stairs leads to a half bath before continuing up to a landing that connects to the garage and an under-the-stairs storage closet. From there, a U-shape staircase ascends to the second level, where it joins with the laundry room to divide the bedroom wings.
The master suite fills one end of the upper level, contributing a fireplace, a deck, and a large walk-in closet.
At the other end of the home is a study alcove with built-ins that can accommodate multiple children and computers. The secondary bedrooms share an adjacent bath.
What's Included
Exterior Elevations: In addition to the front exterior, your
drawing set will include drawings of the rear and sides of your house as well.
These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes. Particular
attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents, or other finish
items that make your home unique.
Foundation Plan: The foundation page dimensions, concrete
walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls, and any stepped foundation
information along with any retaining wall info (schematic only). A typical wall
section for the home is also usually included on this page (if not, it is
elsewhere in your plan set, as space allows). If your plan features a poured
concrete slab rather than a basement or crawlspace, the foundation page shows
footings and details for the slab, and includes plumbing locations.
Floor Plan(s): Exterior and interior wall framing, and
windows/doors are dimensioned. Room sizes are indicated and any beams, posts
and structural bearing points are called out. The floor plans include an
electrical legend, and electrical fittings, lights and outlets are shown. Floor
Plans will also indicate cross–section details (provided on the sections page)
and show any special framing details applicable to the design. Cabinet elevations
are included for kitchen and bathrooms; some designs feature cabinet elevations
for design–related built–ins too.
Building Sections: Building sections show changes in
floor, ceiling, or roof height, and the relationship of one level to another. Our
section pages also show how the stairs are calculated (if there are some!) and
depict roof and foundation members. We try and draw sections to show the most
useful information — choosing locations where there are elements you or your
contractor might need clarification on.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Sections and elevations depict the standard foundation only.
Roof Plan: Roof framing or truss directions are
shown, slope directions are indicated and structural members are sized and
called out if applicable. The gravity loads used to calculate the rafters,
beams and posts are indicated , and we also show gutters, downspouts, and any
roof venting required for your home.
Notes and Details
Page(s): Your
home comes detailed to meet the requirements of the latest adopted version of
the ‘International Residential Code’, and our notes and details pages outline

standards may need to be incorporated into your plan set, depending on the
requirements of your building department — these are usually done locally.
