Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Want single-story living without stairs — one-story modern ranch with no upper level
  • Need a first-floor master suite — owner's suite with ensuite and direct laundry access to the master
  • Have a narrow lot — just 40–49 feet wide, ideal for compact neighborhood lots
  • Value open entertaining spaces — gourmet kitchen, great room, and rear deck flow seamlessly
  • Seek modern architectural style — contemporary mid-century exterior with refined interior details
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms for a large family — only three bedrooms total in 1,720 sq ft
  • Require a two-car or larger garage — no garage bays included in this plan
  • Want a spacious basement for storage or finishing — slab foundation provides no below-grade space

About this plan

Modern Single-Story with Contemporary Details

The Alton Plan is a 1,720 sq ft contemporary home that redefines single-story living with sleek design and high-end functional amenities. This three-bedroom design features ten-foot ceilings that enhance volume throughout primary living areas and is built for modern families seeking both open-concept social zones and dedicated private retreats.

Inside, a grand open-concept layout flows from a gourmet kitchen and vaulted great room through an impressive rear deck, extending livability outdoors. The owner's suite is a private oasis with a luxurious ensuite and direct laundry access from the master, while a split-bedroom design keeps secondary bedrooms private for family or guests. A dedicated mudroom and walk-in pantry ensure the home operates smoothly for active lifestyles.

Mid-century and modern exterior details create strong architectural presence on contemporary or terrace lots. Built on a slab foundation with walkable dimensions of 40–49 feet wide, this plan fits modern neighborhoods while delivering refined single-level living.

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
