Plan Details
  • Perched majestically on a hillside, this breathtaking one-story Craftsman-inspired home plan melds with nature from the outside in. This house plan includes a steep, hip roofline that juts skyward, outlining the skyline with the appearance of a mountain that naturally steps down, wide and low before anchoring itself to the hillside. Natural exterior materials befit the imposing exterior. Ledgestone cladding for the foundation and porch columns meet rough-split, staggered-edge shakes and wood braces under the eaves and above the entry portico.
  • Rambling like the rolling prairie, the floor plan comfortably fans out from the foyer offering a view at every turn. The main living spaces of the kitchen, dining room, and great-room openly connect, with only columns and ceiling details to distinguish the spaces. Wood beams in the great-room repeat the architectural theme of the exterior. Views to the back from the master suite, great-room, and kitchen nook, continue to draw nature inside.
  • Living space extends outdoors and to the lower level. A large deck off the kitchen expands into a covered area with a beamed ceiling and outdoor fireplace, creating a peaceful environment for solitary relaxing or group entertaining. Two additional bedrooms and a game room on the lower level provide extra sleeping and recreation space.
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 all the elements applicable to the design of your home. Compliance with further standards may need to be incorporated into your plan set, depending on the requirements of your building department — these are usually done locally.
