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…
  • Working with a tight urban or infill lot (just 39 ft wide and deep)
  • Need substantial garage and workshop space (3-car garage with dedicated workshop)
  • Want second-floor laundry and master suite convenience (washer/dryer on upper level)
  • Seek year-round outdoor living in a compact footprint (balcony and deck)
  • Value an open social core where living and kitchen flow together (open-concept upper level)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need single-level living with no stairs (two-story plan with stairs to bedrooms)
  • Require 3+ bedrooms on day one (only 2 finished bedrooms)
  • Want a covered entry (no front porch mentioned)
  • Prefer main-floor master suite (master bedroom is on second floor)
  • Need side-load garage access (front-load garage only)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Contemporary Two-Story Design with Workshop Space

This contemporary house plan delivers 1,329 sq ft across two stories, built on a slab foundation with a striking modern aesthetic. The design features two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a prominent three-car front-load garage with an integrated workshop area—ideal for hobbyists, craftspeople, or those needing substantial vehicle and storage space.

The open-concept layout centers on the upper-level social core, where the living room and gourmet kitchen merge seamlessly. An eating bar and high-end cabinetry make the kitchen a natural gathering hub. The second-floor master suite includes a generous walk-in closet and high-end finishes, while a private balcony and expansive deck extend living to the outdoors year-round.

With its compact 39 ft width and depth, this plan fits tight urban or infill lots while maximizing interior volume through large windows and open sightlines. The second-floor laundry, dedicated workshop, and three-car garage combine practicality with contemporary style.

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.
