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 narrow lot or flood-prone site — designed for a 32-foot width on a pier foundation
  • Need accessible, single-floor main living with no stairs between levels (residential elevator)
  • Want a beach or lake house with outdoor living as a priority (332 sq ft of porches including screened sunroom)
  • Value separation between master suite and guest bedrooms (split-bedroom layout on second floor)
  • Looking for storage and utility space (1,600 sq ft basement with 10-foot ceilings plus 1,515 sq ft garage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Prefer a traditional crawlspace or slab foundation — this plan requires a pier foundation for coastal/flood zones
  • Need a main-floor master suite — the master is upstairs on the second floor
  • Want an open, single-story footprint — this is a two-story design with an elevator for vertical living

About this plan

Low Country Coastal Living with Elevator Accessibility

This Low Country-style house plan delivers 1,600 sq ft of living space on a single elevated level, designed specifically for coastal and flood-prone terrain with a pier foundation and 33 ft 8 in maximum height. The split-bedroom layout separates the main-floor master suite from two secondary bedrooms, maximizing privacy and flexibility for multi-generational living or guest accommodations.

The main living floor centers on an open kitchen with island and walk-in pantry, anchored by a fireplace and connected visually throughout the common areas. A residential elevator ensures barrier-free access between levels, while laundry access directly from the master closet streamlines daily routines. Outdoor living spans 332 sq ft across a covered front porch, 182 sq ft rear deck, and a screened porch/sunroom for year-round enjoyment.

The 2-car front-load garage provides 1,515 sq ft of storage and vehicle capacity, while the 1,600 sq ft basement with 10-foot ceilings offers substantial utility space. Main living areas feature 9-foot ceilings and the characteristic 10:12 roof pitch of Low Country architecture.

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.
