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 a modern design with smart floor planning (contemporary and modern styles with efficient layout)
  • Work from home and need a dedicated office (home office/study on main floor)
  • Appreciate organized entryways with a mud room (mud room off main living area)
  • Love covered outdoor living (covered front and rear porches)
  • Need walk-in closets and storage (walk-in closets and storage space throughout)
  • Prefer a 2-car garage on a tight lot (front-load 2-car garage fits 46-foot width)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-story layout (this is a two-story plan)
  • Want the master suite on the main floor (primary suite is upstairs)
  • Have a lot wider than 50 feet and need to use the full width (plan is only 46 feet 8 inches wide)
  • Need laundry on the main floor (laundry functions not specified on ground level)
  • Require 4+ bedrooms finished (plan has 3 bedrooms total)

About this plan

Contemporary Two-Story with Smart Layout

This modern two-story home delivers 2,038 square feet across a compact 46-by-50-foot footprint, perfect for varied lot sizes. The main floor features an open kitchen and keeping room anchored by an island, a dedicated home office, and a mud room for organized entryways. A walk-in pantry, half bathroom, and covered front and rear porches complete the ground level's 1,438 square feet.

Upstairs, 600 square feet house three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with the primary suite offering a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. The upper level maintains clear separation from social zones below, while front-load garage access connects directly to the mud room for efficient daily flow. Slab foundation and 4:12 roof pitch create a modern aesthetic with practical maintenance.

Storage space and walk-in closets throughout maximize functionality within the 2,038-square-foot total, while 8-foot main-floor ceilings maintain efficient climate control. This flexible design balances contemporary styling with smart family-friendly features.

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.
