This is American Craftsman, a style invented almost single-handedly by the California architects Greene and Greene during the twenty years before World War I. (Doc Brown's house in Back to the Future is Greene and Greene's Gamble House in Pasadena.) Original Craftsman houses are close to the Prairie School style, but with strong Japanese influences and a love of beautifully detailed woodwork. The Pasadena is an adaptation of the Craftsman bungalows that were built everywhere in this country from pattern books. It's cozy, homey, and perfectly suited to anyone from young marrieds to grandmothers to mad scientists.

What's Included

PDF Plan Sets - all printed in color on 11" x 17" paper. The designer says that this is cheaper to print/copy than larger format plan sets, easier to use on the job site, easier to use when shopping for tile, etc., and more convenient to archive after your house or accessory building is complete.
  • Cover Sheet: General notes, full-color exterior rendering of the garage/apartment
  • Foundation Plan(s): This page shows all necessary notations and dimensions including footings, support columns, walls, and excavated/unexcavated areas.
  • Floor Plan(s): Drawn to a scale of 1/4"=1'-0" (1/4 inch equals 1 foot; 1 inch equals 4 feet). Position and dimensions of doors, windows, interior walls, etc. are indicated.

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.
