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—the design is just 55 ft 4 in wide and 26 ft 2 in deep
  • Need a luxury third-floor primary suite with laundry (master suite on top floor with private bath and dedicated laundry)
  • Want substantial garage space with room for 3 vehicles (825 sq ft front-load garage)
  • Value flexible bonus space for a studio or media room (1,134 sq ft mezzanine bonus room)
  • Need 5+ bedrooms for a large household (5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms distributed across three levels)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Prefer a single-story or two-story layout (three-story design requires navigation across multiple floors)
  • Need the primary suite on the main floor (master suite is on the third floor)
  • Want an open first floor for entertaining (first floor is only 503 sq ft of entry-level space)
  • Working with a lot wider than 70 ft and want a sprawling footprint (this plan is just 55 ft 4 in wide)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Three-Story Contemporary Home with Third-Floor Master and Mezzanine

This striking three-story residence spans 2,681 sq ft of heated living area and reaches 40 ft 2 in in total height, designed for narrow lots with a 55 ft 4 in width and 26 ft 2 in depth. The first floor encompasses 503 sq ft of private entry-level space, while the second floor serves as the primary social core with 1,074 sq ft of open-concept living. The kitchen features a central island and walk-in pantry with direct access to a grilling terrace. Nine-foot ceiling heights on the first and second levels enhance volume throughout common areas.

A 1,134 sq ft mezzanine bonus room occupies the upper portion, offering flexible space for a media studio or specialized retreat. The third floor accommodates the primary suite with a private bath, walk-in closet, and third-floor laundry for operational convenience. With 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms distributed across three levels, the home addresses multi-occupant households through vertical space planning.

The front-load 3-car garage (825 sq ft) integrates into the footprint while maintaining accessibility. Built on a slab foundation with 2x6 exterior framing and an 8:12 roof pitch, the home features an elevator-ready design totaling 4,913 sq ft of building area. This vertical layout maximizes land use on narrow lots.

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.
