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 coastal or flood-prone lot requiring elevated construction (pier foundation)
  • Need accessibility between floors without stairs (residential elevator)
  • Working with a narrow lot under 40 feet wide (39-foot width)
  • Want substantial outdoor living space (332 sq ft of porches including screened porch)
  • Seeking a compact two-story footprint with efficient storage (1,600 sq ft basement)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Prefer a single-story layout — this is a two-story design with the master suite upstairs
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms
  • Want a large footprint — the design is only 1,600 sq ft across two floors
  • Building on a standard foundation — this plan requires a pier foundation for elevation

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Little Oak is a Low Country-style residence providing 1,600 sq ft of heated living space across a 32-foot width and 70-foot depth footprint. Designed with an elevated pier foundation to accommodate coastal or flood-prone terrain, this two-story home reaches a maximum building height of 33 ft 8 in. The structure emphasizes vertical connectivity through the inclusion of a residential elevator, ensuring accessibility across all levels.

The main floor layout prioritizes a split-bedroom configuration to increase separation between the primary suite and secondary sleeping quarters. Central to the core is an open-concept kitchen equipped with a large island and a walk-in pantry, maintaining direct lines of sight toward the living area fireplace. The primary suite integrates practical utility by providing direct access from the master closet to the laundry room, streamlining daily routines.

Outdoor living is a primary component of this design, featuring 332 sq ft of total porch space. This includes a covered front porch, a rear porch measuring 182 sq ft, and a dedicated screened porch/sunroom for climate-controlled exterior relaxation. The architectural profile is defined by a 10:12 roof pitch, contributing to the classic aesthetic of the Low Country style while maintaining structural integrity.

Supporting the living quarters is a substantial 1,515 sq ft front-load garage, providing capacity for 2 vehicles along with significant storage space. Below the main level, a 1,600 sq ft basement with 10-foot ceilings offers additional utility, while the first-floor interior maintains 9-foot ceiling heights to enhance the perceived volume of the common areas.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, elevator, pier foundation, split-bedroom layout, walk-in pantry, fireplace, screened porch, 2-car front-load garage, 10:12 roof pitch.

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.
