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 under 40 feet wide—the 34-foot 11-inch width is designed for tight footprints
  • Need home office space on the main floor (dedicated home office)
  • Want first-floor laundry to avoid carrying loads upstairs
  • Prefer a side-load garage that preserves your front facade (side-load 2-car)
  • Love a distinctive architectural profile—the 16:12 roof pitch creates strong vertical presence
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms—this plan has 3
  • Want the primary suite on the main floor—the master is upstairs
  • Require a single-story layout—this is a two-story design
  • Need a wide lot under 75 feet deep—this plan's 76-foot 2-inch depth is designed for deep, narrow parcels

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Vertical Transitional Design for Narrow Lots

The Stamford Transitional house plan compresses 2,261 sq ft across two levels within a 34-foot 11-inch-wide footprint, making it ideal for infill and smaller urban properties. A steep 16:12 roof pitch establishes strong vertical character while providing volume for the upper floor.

The main level opens with 10-foot ceilings and centers on an open-concept core. The keeping room features a fireplace with direct sightlines to the kitchen, where a central island with eating bar and walk-in pantry create clear workflow. A first-floor home office provides a dedicated work zone, while first-floor laundry and powder room maintain accessibility without disrupting primary living spaces.

Upstairs, the second floor houses 3 bedrooms with clustered layout and 9-foot ceilings. The primary suite includes a sitting area, while secondary bedrooms remain separate from ground-floor activity. A 506-sq-ft side-load 2-car garage preserves the front elevation, and the 76-foot depth maximizes utility on deep, narrow lots.

  • 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms
  • Steep 16:12 roof pitch for distinctive profile
  • First-floor home office and laundry
  • Primary suite with sitting area

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.
