The Quinn Pilings, an elevated coastal country house plan on a piling foundation

By size

House Plans 2000-3000 Square Feet

Twenty-two plans between 2,000 and just under 3,000 square feet, three to five bedrooms. This is the size at which a house gets a primary suite that is genuinely separate, secondary bedrooms that can share a bath without crossing the living room, and usually a flex room on top of that. Both elevated and on grade foundations are here, rather more elevated than not.

Reverse living, and when it makes sense

Several of these put the kitchen, living and dining upstairs and the bedrooms below. On a lot with a view, or a deep lot where the upper floor clears the roofline in front of you, that is the whole reason to build there. On a flat inland lot it is a staircase for nothing. Haddie's Hideaway appears here in three versions, two of them reverse living and one with every bedroom en suite, so you can see what the choice costs in square footage. Angela has written about how she decides.

Every plan is a licensed construction set drawn to 2021 IRC guidelines, licensed for one build, with no engineering stamp. Your building department will ask for supplemental documents that no plan set includes; the FAQ lists them. A $75 study set credits in full toward the construction set within twelve months, and modifications are quoted at no charge.
