Plan Description


This modern cabin is ideal as a weekend or vacation chalet, secondary structure, or studio. A screened-in dogtrot serves both as outdoor living space and circulation between the two conditioned ends of the building. Like other designs by the Architect, the long, narrow aspect ratio is designed for best energy performance in summer and winter and works well on a small or narrow lot. Originally designed for site with considerable terrain slope, the foundation can be adjusted to accommodate most sites, while the cantilevered ends reinforce the "floating" architecture. Ample south-facing glazing passively heats the spaces in winter, while the pitch and overhang of the southern awning can be altered in design to optimize summer shade. The exterior rolling barn door can be positioned to shade the dogtrot or either living space. BoxKart's 2x6 exterior framing makes it an ideal candidate either for advanced framing a proven stick framing system that reduces lumber and increases insulation for better energy performance or structural insulated panels (SIPs).

Mirror Reversed Sets

$42.50
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.

Meet the Designer

Francois Levy

Francois Levy - Houseplans.com
"I design homes for people living lightly on the earth, sustainably and in beauty." Francois Levy designs buildings that capture the imagination, express regional beauty and a sense of place. His projects reflect their cultural and geographical context, and are accessible and comprehensible to the user rather than obeying a preconceived architectural agenda. Levy is particularly passionate about creating projects that eloquently express how we use and conserve energy and water, and inhabit their site. All his work - whether in architecture, teaching or research - investigates the intersection of design, technology, and sustainability. His architectural projects have attracted regional and national press, including features on HGTV and in magazines such as Dwell, This Old House and Natural Home. Levy holds a BA in classics and philosophy from St John's College in Santa Fe, and two Masters degrees from The University of Texas at Austin, one in Architecture and the other in Engineering. He has taught digital design and environmental controls courses at UT Austin, UT San Antonio, and St. Edward's University. Levy has presented and lectured widely on CAD and BIM (building information modeling). He is the author of BIM in Small-Scale Sustainable Design, published by Wiley. His current areas of research interest are sustainable architecture, BIM, cooling through passive ventilation, and space architecture, on which he has presented at international aerospace conferences.
