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 a vacation or lakefront home — modern ranch style designed explicitly for mountain, lake, and terrace properties
  • Working with a narrow lot under 50 feet wide — compact 40–49 ft width fits challenging sloped terrain
  • Want to double your usable space — 1,194 sq ft walkout basement adds guest quarters or recreation area
  • Need a first-floor master suite with ensuite — owner's suite includes walk-in closet and private bathroom
  • Love covered outdoor entertaining — generous 424 sq ft rear deck maximizes property views
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a large family home — only 1,160 sq ft main level with three bedrooms total
  • Require a flat building site — walkout basement design is intended for sloped terrain
  • Want a multi-car garage — no garage bays included in this plan

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Vacation & Lakefront Living Above a Walkout Basement

The Delmar Plan is a modern ranch designed for lakefront and vacation home living, offering 1,160 sq ft of efficient single-story layout above an expansive 1,194 sq ft walkout basement. This three-bedroom home is perfect for property owners seeking a bright, high-quality design that can double its usable square footage with flexible lower-level space.

The main level centers on an open-concept great room and kitchen with a central island, ideal for daily meals and entertaining. The first-floor master suite features a walk-in closet and well-appointed bathroom, while two additional bedrooms are arranged in a split layout for maximum guest privacy. A generous 424 sq ft rear deck extends living outdoors with elevated vantage points for views.

Built with 2x6 wall framing on a walkout basement foundation, the Delmar combines a compact footprint—just 40–49 feet wide—with surprising depth and flexibility, making it ideal for challenging slopes and waterfront properties.

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.
