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 very small lot footprint (26.5 ft wide × 28 ft deep)
  • Want a two-story design to maximize square footage in a compact area (1,074 sq ft across two floors)
  • Need a flexible second bedroom that works as home office or guest space
  • Love significant covered porch space (250 sq ft front porch entry)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than 2 bedrooms (this plan has 2 bedrooms only)
  • Require more than 1 full bathroom (only 1 full plus 1 half bathroom)
  • Want all living areas on one floor (this is a two-story with bedrooms upstairs)
  • Need a garage (this plan has no garage)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Compact Two-Story with Covered Entry Porch

The Blue House is a compact two-story residence providing 1,074 square feet of heated living area, optimized for a tight 26.5-foot width and 28-foot depth footprint. A steep 12:12 roof pitch creates a distinctive exterior profile, complemented by a substantial 250 square foot covered front porch.

The main floor spans 591 square feet with an open-concept core where kitchen, dining, and living areas share one continuous sightline. Nine-foot ceilings enhance the sense of volume, while a half bathroom and integrated laundry area provide utility zones within the efficient layout. The second floor encompasses 483 square feet and houses the primary suite along with a secondary bedroom, each with access to walk-in closets. An 8-foot ceiling height on the upper level creates a distinct private zone.

Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 wall framing and a truss roof system, the home reaches a maximum building height of 26 feet. The design accommodates flexible garage configurations with both side and front-load options to suit various lot orientations.

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.
