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.
- • Love outdoor entertaining and cooking — covered front and back porches plus an outdoor kitchen
- • Vacation home or rental property builders — the cottage aesthetic and outdoor focus appeal to renters seeking resort-style living
- • Want an open floor plan that connects living, dining, and kitchen (seamless flow between all three areas)
- • Need a fireplace as a focal point and heat source (fireplace in the living room)
- • Prefer a compact single-story footprint easy to maintain and heat (1,200 sq ft, all on one floor)
- • Want a kitchen island for prep work and casual dining (functional kitchen island)
- • Need 3+ bedrooms — this plan has only two
- • Require multiple bathrooms — there is only one full bathroom
- • Want an attached garage or workshop — this plan includes no garage bays
- • Prefer a separate formal dining room — the dining area flows into the open living and kitchen spaces
- • Need a basement for storage or finishing — this plan sits on a basement foundation but may prioritize main-floor living

“We've had an amazing experience with our new home. The customer service we received during our modifications was exceptional — they walked us through every change.”
“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.”
