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 sloped or mountainside lot — the walkout basement is engineered specifically for challenging terrain
  • Want maximum outdoor living space — 622 sq ft deck plus 462 sq ft patio provide extensive year-round access
  • Planning future expansion without disturbing the main floor — the 1,838 sq ft unfinished basement offers built-in growth potential
  • Value an open main floor with mountain views — the low 2:12 roof pitch and open layout prioritize sightlines
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms immediately — this plan has 3 finished bedrooms on the main floor; the basement is unfinished
  • Prefer a multi-story traditional layout — this is a single-story design with walkout basement access
  • Working with flat terrain or a basement foundation is not feasible — the design is optimized for sloped sites

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Mountain Design for Sloped Terrain

This Contemporary Mountain House Plan spans 1,838 square feet of heated living space on a single story, specifically engineered for sloped or challenging topography. The walkout basement foundation maximizes square footage without compromising its compact 54 ft × 46 ft footprint. A low 2:12 roof pitch preserves views while emphasizing clean, modern lines and minimizing the vertical profile.

The interior prioritizes open-concept living, where the kitchen, dining area, and family room share a unified volume beneath 9-foot ceilings. A central kitchen island with eating bar anchors the space, supported by a dedicated walk-in pantry. The fireplace in the family room provides warmth and focus, with direct access to an expansive 622-square-foot rear deck that effectively doubles the social area during warmer months. A 462-square-foot rear patio creates a tiered outdoor living environment integrated into the natural landscape.

A split-bedroom arrangement separates the primary suite from two secondary bedrooms, maintaining privacy while ensuring convenient bathroom access. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bathroom with dual vanities. The 1,838-square-foot unfinished walkout basement offers substantial flexibility for future expansion. Built with 2x6 wall framing and 9-foot basement ceilings, this design maintains consistent volume throughout and includes a mud room and dedicated laundry area.

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.
