Welcome to our online catalog. Lets get right into it, shall we? The plans that we offer are divided into 6 groups depending on the setting they were designed for. You can take this as a guideline because you can put any house you like on any site it fits on. We just need a starting point when we design, and we thought you might like to know what it was. No search function yet as there are not enough plans to warrant it. Ok, you know what to do - click the links to visit the different parts of the catalog. Use the heading links at the top of your page to jump back here. The Stealth House Group: Some houses are going to be built in old neighborhoods. These homes are designed to fit on the narrow, deep lots that are often found in traditional small towns. The designs take into account this setting and the scale and proportion of older homes. Some are going to be deliberately "stealthy" hiding their modernism in the back of the house. This is a strategy to deal with less than open minded neighbors and review boards. The plans work well in new traditional developments too. The Zeitgeist House Group: Some houses are going to be built in an everyday, run of the mill builder's development as you see all across the country. These homes are designed to fit on suburban lots more typical of more recent suburban developments. We must admit that we are not fond of cul-de-sac type development, but it seems that for a lot of people that is all that is being served. They should have the option to choose a modern home. The Remote House Group: Some houses are going to be built on sites where there is not too much else around. These homes are designed for situations where the neighbors are not going to be close by. Other houses will be far or obscured by trees or other features of the landscape. As a result these houses have less restrictions on their design. Issues of privacy will take a backseat to the view. The Camp Group: Some houses are a get-away and are only used part of the time. Or perhaps only a small house is needed. These homes are smaller and are designed as retreats, cabins, or cottages. They are made to be lost in the woods, or to enjoy the view of the lake. The Multifamily Group: We introduce this section for multi-family plans as an experiment. If there is call for it we will expand the offerings. The Commercial Group: Another experiment. If there is interest in the Multifamily Plans we will expand into small commercial structures as well. Some of these designs do not include attached garages, such as the Stealth Group houses which are intended for traditional neighborhoods with detached garages. We do not have any detached garage plans yet. If you need or desire one we would like to direct you to Thompson Plans. They are another small stock plan publisher like ourselves who have a couple of garage plans to choose from. Thompson Plans has a great collection of small to medium sized traditional home plans. We have done extensive research into stock plans on the internet, and they stand out as one of the best we have seen. |
