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…
  • Building on a sloping site — the walkout basement design maximizes the natural grade
  • Need workspace for vehicles and hobbies — three-car garage plus unfinished basement below
  • Want to expand later without moving — unfinished space allows 1 to 3 bedrooms as plans grow
  • Prefer a compact main floor to keep initial build costs manageable (1,161 sq ft on main level)
  • Working with a wider lot — the design spans 80 to 89 feet
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ finished bedrooms immediately — only 1 bedroom is finished on the main level
  • Want a single-level home with no stairs — this plan includes a finished main floor plus basement
  • Have a narrow lot under 80 feet — this design needs 80 to 89 feet of width
  • Prefer a traditional foundation — this plan is designed for a walkout basement

About this plan

Compact Living with Expansion Potential

This contemporary 1,161 sq ft house plan combines a compact main level with a walkout basement foundation that includes two additional bedrooms. The three-car garage and lower level provide substantial space for storage and vehicles without requiring a large footprint above ground.

The main floor centers on a great room anchored by a fireplace, with open sightlines flowing into the kitchen. A central island with eating bar, walk-in pantry, and adjacent laundry area create an efficient workspace, while laundry access directly from the garage streamlines utility movement. The first-floor master suite includes a walk-in closet and double-vanity bath, positioned for privacy within the compact layout. A powder room serves visitors without interrupting bedroom areas.

Built with durable 2x6 wall framing on a walkout basement foundation, this plan pairs a clean, modern exterior with flexible interior design. The front porch, rear deck, and patio extend living space outdoors, while the generous garage and lower level offer room for hobbies, vehicles, or storage.

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.
