Redesigned Shingle-Style/Craftsman Home Plan

by JimV 7. January 2010 08:58

This charming shingle-style design with Craftsman influences was chosen by our customers, a married couple building in coastal Maine. They wanted a simple, country-style home plan that would fit nicely into Maine’s rugged coastal landscape.

House plan EST-01 was perfect for our customers from the beginning, but they wanted a few simple changes to truly make the plan their own and assure that the entire home gets fully utilized. They contacted our Design Services team to alter the home plan to fit their specs.

They asked for some simple redesigns of the master bathroom and kitchen. In the kitchen, they added a snack bar for meals on-the-go. They reconfigured the layout of the master bedroom closet, bathroom, and laundry area. And they tweaked all of the exterior dimensions of the structure to minimize material costs.

One significant change they requested was the addition of a basement, which they plan on finishing in the future. (The original plan came with a crawlspace.)

Our customers liked this design because it is simple from the outside, but offers a truly unique, voluminous floor plan for its size, with efficient use of the given space. They liked the idea of starting with that and then implementing their own ideas to personalize it.

You, too, can get the home of your dreams at a fraction of the cost of architect-drawn blueprints!
