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…
  • Need a workshop or room for 3+ vehicles (1,161 sq ft four-car front-load garage)
  • Want single-level living with efficient square footage and minimal maintenance (1,855 sq ft one-story layout on square 72-ft footprint)
  • Plan to expand later without starting over (1,856 sq ft unfinished basement ready for future finishing)
  • Enjoy a chef kitchen with storage and workspace (kitchen island, walk-in pantry, open great room sightlines)
  • Prefer a compact footprint with efficient daily flow (square lot layout, first-floor laundry, primary suite on main level)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a large family needing 3+ bedrooms (this plan has only 2 bedrooms)
  • Prefer stacked storage—the garage footprint is integrated into the home's main square footage (1,161 sq ft garage limits living area density)
  • Want a narrow-lot design (square 72-by-72-foot footprint works best on spacious sites)
  • Dislike concrete slabs or need a full basement as primary foundation (this plan uses slab foundation)

About this plan

Efficient One-Story Layout with Workshop Capacity

This Cottage-style home delivers 1,855 sq ft across a square 72-by-72-foot footprint, perfect for those seeking efficiency and ease of access. The open-concept great room flows seamlessly into a well-equipped kitchen featuring a large island and walk-in pantry, maintaining clear sightlines throughout the living zone.

The first-floor master suite includes a walk-in closet and private bathroom, while a secondary bedroom sits independently to ensure privacy. First-floor laundry keeps daily chores central, and a 48 sq ft covered front porch provides entry shelter. A 380 sq ft rear deck extends outdoor entertaining space.

The standout feature is a 1,161 sq ft four-car front-load garage—ideal for vehicle enthusiasts, contractors, or families needing serious storage and workshop room. An unfinished 1,856 sq ft basement with 9-foot ceilings offers growth potential for finished living space, hobby rooms, or storage. Nine-foot ceilings on both levels enhance the sense of volume throughout the compact footprint.

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.
