This elegant home from the Energy Saver Plus Home Plans Collection offers stone, vertical siding, and balconies that draw the eye up. This plan, which easily fits onto a narrow lot despite containing four bedrooms, wraps around a fantastic courtyard for outdoor living year round. A detached guest cabana makes an ideal in-law unit or teen retreat, while three more bedrooms upstairs include the master suite, which offers walk-in closets, a huge bathroom, and private access to the study and one of two balconies. An alternate layout replaces the study with a fifth bedroom. Energy-saving building techniques included in this and all other Energy Saver Plus plans can enable energy savings of 40-50% when built to spec, compared to a typical new home.

What's Included

Plans are typically drawn to ¼” scale, or smaller for larger homes (3/16" scale to fit on 30 x 42 sheets), and include:
  • Cover Sheet: The cover sheet contains an index of the sheets that will follow in the design development set of plans. It will also include a gray scale elevation or rendering depicting the look of the front of the home, and overall roof plan.
  • Foundation Plan(s): This sheet shows the home’s foundation layout depicting plumbing, footing, support walls, columns, etc., calling out the necessary notes, dimensions and details.
  • Floor Plan(s): Shows a detailed layout of the floor plans with dimensions, notes, call outs and keys relating to sheets with sections and details needed by your builder for construction. These plans will include window and door sizes and locations, and will also show the location of bathroom fixtures.
  • Exterior Elevations: This sheet depicts elevations for all sides of the home, showing dimensions and material notes and exterior detailing where needed.
  • Interior Elevations: This sheet shows conceptual interior wall elevations for the kitchen, bathrooms, utility room as well as built-ins, fireplaces and other unique interior features as per design
  • Overhead Roof Plan(s): The Roof Plan sheet is a general layout of the home’s roof. It is meant as general information for the truss manufacturer and framing contractor. This sheet also contains the location and size of the dropped soffits housing the forced-air chases.
  • Cross Section(s): The Cross Section sheet depicts a section through the home revealing floor, ceiling and roof heights at a strategic location.
  • Electrical Plan(s): The Electrical Plan sheet shows suggested wiring and location of fixtures (lighting, ceiling fans, etc.), switches and outlets. This plan does not contain diagrams detailing how all wiring should be run, or how circuits should be engineered. Your electrician should work out these details.
  • Construction Notes / Detail(s): Shows basic parts and assemblies recommended for the home so the builder can see how things come together.
  • Framing Detail(s): The Second Floor Framing sheet shows important locations of beams and load-bearing conditions, as well as the floor truss spacing and direction. The Second Floor Framing Plan is meant as general information for the truss manufacturer. If included, the framing layout is intended to be a suggested layout only. Design loads and weather conditions vary by region. As a result the size, spacing, and layout of all structural elements in this home design may need approval by a structural engineer or code official based on your specific site location.
  • Wall Section(s): The Wall Section sheet depicts one or more sections of the home’s exterior walls from the foundation to the roof, calling out all materials and construction specifics.
Also included:
(Ducts in Conditioned Space DICS) This designer offers this information for those seeking truly high-performance homes.

The reflected ceiling plan shows all ceiling heights, treatments, and details including necessary notes.

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.

How much does a house cost to build?

Find out! Build costs vary based on the size of the home, materials used, and local rates for goods and labor. Our Cost to Build report is a great way to get some basic costs dialed in before you order your plans. Just plug in your postal code, select your desired construction quality, and we'll calculate for you.

Can I trust Houseplans?

Founded in 2004, Houseplans works with hundreds of architects and designers to offer their plans at a fraction of the price of custom design. Houseplans has an "Excellent" rating on TrustPilot.
