NOT SO BIG SHOWHOUSE 2005 454-6. This home was originally designed and built as a walk-through demonstration of Sarah Susanka's Not So Big® House concepts for the 2005 International Builders Show in Orlando, Florida. It is based on the plan for A Good Neighbor (Plan #454-1), but this showhouse plan has had some tweaks and additions made to it. The Not So Big® Showhouse 2005 is the reverse of the Good Neighbor plan and sports a welcoming wrap around veranda, spacious screened porch, long breezeway, and pool changing area. Plans are also included for a second floor "gazebo" above the garage, though Sarah recommends keeping the garage a one story structure if integrating the design into an existing neighborhood. (The second story was for Showhouse demonstrations and exhibits.) In addition to its exemplification of Sarah's design principles, it is highly energy efficient and sustainably designed. A combination of open spaces, varied ceiling heights, and well-placed windows and lighting give the home a simultaneously spacious and cozy feeling. A separate away room can be used as a media room, an office, or a guest bedroom. The large screen porch off the living area has views in three directions, and along with a series of connected decks encourages outdoor living. The kitchen is at the heart of the main level. It is beautifully integrated with both the main living area and the dining room, and has plenty of work surfaces for the serious cook. Tucked behind the kitchen is a true mudroom, along with a mail sorting place. The upper level of the home has two large bedrooms, the laundry for convenience, and a luxurious master suite. The master bedroom uses vaulted ceilings, intimate nooks, built-ins and bump-outs for architectural interest and luxurious spatial experiencing. From the master bedroom, a long hallway draws you past the large master bath and walk-in closet to an upper level office. A door off the master bedroom opens onto an upper level connecting deck above the breezeway that leads to the glass roofed gazebo above the garage. The gazebo itself can be used in a multitude of ways. Left wide open as is, and combined with the large adjoining deck, it is a perfect place for parties. The addition of either a full or half bath would allow it to be used as a guest studio, or home office. Gazebo is 529 square feet

FAQs

Are designs on Houseplans ready to submit to my building department for permitting?

It depends on where you're building. Our plans contain enough information for a professional builder to construct your home, but your local government may require additional information before permitting. We strongly advise that you talk with your builder before you get started. If you are building for yourself, we recommend visiting your local building department to start your diligence. Read more here.

Can I make changes to a plan?

Absolutely! Our modification service allows you to customize almost anything - whether it's adding an extra garage bay, adjusting square footage, changing the roof pitch, or more, the plan modification service is a great value and can be completed quickly. Additionally, if you purchase an electronic plan set (PDF or CAD), you may have the option to make changes locally. CAD files offer the most flexibility for custom edits. Just let us know what you're thinking, and we’ll provide an estimate and timeframe to get started. Learn more here.

All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.

All house plans on Houseplans.com are designed to conform to the building codes from when and where the original house was designed.

In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.

In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to ensure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.

Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
