Plan Description


Plan 520-4, by Irish architect Frank McGahon, is a simple rectangle with solid end walls and all glass side walls. The great appeal of the window wall is to unite inside and outside while framing both. The trick is to beware of exposure; even insulated glass can transmit heat and cold. The roof can be adapted as a deck. This 1705 square feet contemporary style 1 bedroom, 1 bath design recalls Philip Johnson's famous Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut of 1949.

Mirror Reversed Sets

$0.00
A mirror-reversed set is a printed copy of your house, resulting in the same image you would see if you held the drawing up to a mirror. Everything, including the text, is backward in relation to the original design. These kinds of drawing are typically used to reorient an original plan more advantageously on a site, either because the homeowner prefers it that way or because of limitations of the site itself. Note: Mirror reverse sets are only available with a 5 copy or 8 copy set. With a Reproducible, PDF, or CAD set, you can print mirrored copies locally. In addition: 5 Copy set selected, should only allow 4 mirrored sets to be selected. 8 Copy set selected, should only allow 7 mirrored sets to be selected.

Unless you buy an “unlimited” plan set or a multi-use license you may only build one home from a set of plans. Please call to verify if you intend to build more than once. Plan licenses are non-transferable and cannot be resold.

Frank McGahon

Frank McGahon - Houseplans.com
“What we're trying to do is help clients make their dream homes a reality. People look at beautiful houses in magazines and on websites and imagine that they're out of reach. We strongly believe that that's not the case. Even on tighter budgets there are a lot more possibilities than people often realize and with the right design it is possible to achieve the house of your dreams.” Frank McGahon is a fourth generation architect, following his great grandfather, grandfather and father into practicing architecture in the town of Dundalk, equidistant between Dublin and Belfast. After graduating from the School of Architecture, University College Dublin in 1989 he worked in London and Dublin before returning to work for his father in Dundalk in 1992, eventually taking over the practice and establishing McGahon Architects in 2001. While the practice has a tradition and reputation extending back a century it has a forward-looking ethos and a reputation for high quality house design with a particular emphasis on maximizing light and space throughout the house, using the configuration of the house to form private, sunny, sheltered spaces for outdoor living and always considering the variety of ways in which people inhabit and use the house. The practice's house designs range from small to large, from stepped sites to flat and from tight urban lots to expansive rural sites holdings incorporating regional influences with crisp contemporary detailing.
