Craftsman house plans: a style renaissance
Craftsman house plans first gained widespread popularity in the late 19th century and remained a popular house plan style through the early 20th century. Recently the Craftsman style has seen a revival in demand, making it one of our top-selling styles today.
Craftsman house plans are an offshoot of the bungalow style home and are fashioned with Northwestern design elements. These homes can be one or two stories and offer an interior that promotes an informal lifestyle of entertaining and socializing. Craftsman style homes are known for their charismatic and detailed exteriors which are born of the arts and crafts movement. It's not uncommon to see stone and wood elements throughout the interior and on the exterior of the home.
Our portfolio includes Craftsman house plans from several different designers and architects and there are many sizes and styles from each. Craftsman homes are popular in both country and suburban settings because of their sturdy construction, flexible floor plans and distinctive appearance.
Cottage home plans = Cozy weekend retreats
If you're looking to build a small getaway home for comfortable weekend retreats, then you should consider viewing our cabin and cottage home plans. Both of these home styles are similar in square footage (less than 1200 square feet) and most fit well on narrow lots, making them perfect for a vacation home or secondary residence.
Although small, these home plans offer much versatility in style. You can go the rustic route and make your cabin look like a haven in the wilderness, or choose the quaint and charming look of an English cottage.
Although quaint, cottage home plans are designed to be functional and make the best use of the space at hand. Decks and covered porches are wonderful additions to cottage house plans because they allow you to relax and take in the beauty of your surroundings.
