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…
  • Work with a narrow urban lot or small footprint (56 ft wide, 32 ft deep, just 1,040 sq ft)
  • Want single-story living with open spaces and minimal stairs (one-story, 10-foot ceilings)
  • Value walkable neighborhood accessibility and low maintenance (compact footprint, modern efficiency)
  • Need a first-floor master suite and full bathroom (first-floor primary suite with private bath)
  • Desire a modern aesthetic with a fireplace and kitchen island (contemporary style with fireplace and central island)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms for a growing family (only 1 bedroom)
  • Want a large garage or workshop space (single 416 sq ft garage bay)
  • Require significant basement storage or future expansion (slab foundation, no unfinished space)
  • Host frequently or have extended family staying over (limited guest accommodation)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

This Modern Contemporary house plan distills efficient living into 1,040 square feet, ideal for narrow and urban lots. The compact 56-foot by 26-foot footprint is built on a slab foundation with 2x6 wall framing, reaching a maximum height of just 17 feet 1 inch. Ten-foot ceilings throughout the main floor create a sense of airiness despite the modest square footage, while a 2:12 roof pitch contributes to the contemporary aesthetic.

An open-concept core unites the kitchen, dining area, and family room into one flowing social hub. A central fireplace anchors the keeping room, while the kitchen features a central island and eating bar that doubles as a work surface and gathering spot. A dedicated mud room and laundry room with garage access keep utilities organized and out of sight. The private master suite includes a walk-in closet and bathroom with double vanity sinks, plus a separate powder room for guests.

The home's utility is amplified by its 1-car front-load garage (416 sq ft) with laundry room access, providing a clear transition from garage to living spaces. A 60-square-foot front porch establishes the entry point. This plan is engineered for homeowners and investors seeking a streamlined, low-maintenance lifestyle without compromising on design quality or essential comfort 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.
