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 property or cottage retreat (vacation, coastal, and cottage styles)
  • Working with a very small lot under 40 feet in each direction (30 ft wide, 37 ft deep)
  • Want a single-story, zero-stairs layout (one-story ranch plan)
  • Downsizing or seeking minimal maintenance (800 sq ft, low 3:12 roof pitch)
  • Need efficient bathroom access with minimal hallway waste (Jack and Jill bathroom configuration)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms (this plan has only 2 bedrooms)
  • Want multiple full bathrooms (this plan has 1 full bathroom only)
  • Require a 2-car garage or significant covered parking (no garage included)
  • Need substantial living space (800 sq ft is compact)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Efficient Cottage for Compact Living

Iris Cottage is a one-story vacation and cottage design spanning 800 square feet with a minimal footprint of 30 feet wide by 37 feet deep. This efficient layout serves downsizers, vacation-home builders, and buyers working with small lots, maximizing livable space while maintaining a low-slope, easy-to-maintain roof profile.

The interior centers on an open-concept great room anchored by a fireplace and a kitchen island, with 9-foot ceilings that enhance the perception of volume. A walk-in pantry keeps kitchen storage organized, while the two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom configuration that minimizes hallway space. A rear patio provides direct indoor-outdoor connectivity without requiring a covered structure.

Construction features include a crawl space foundation, 2x6 exterior wall framing for thermal efficiency, and a low 3:12 roof pitch that contributes to a maximum height of 17 feet 11 inches. The cluster-bedroom layout separates private sleeping quarters from the social core, ensuring quiet even in the compact 800-square-foot footprint. This design prioritizes practicality and coastal or cottage aesthetics.

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.
