House Plan Description
Cube House. Designed to suit a range of settings including narrow deep lots in older suburbs. In architect Greg La Vardera's words: "It trades off bedroom size for a greater amount of living space, and a higher number of bedrooms. It's perfect for large families or work at home parents that need more than one home office." See how the living room occupies about a third of the ground floor. French doors or a folding wall connect it easily to the side yard. Or rotate the plan, depending on lot characteristics and the desired sun orientation, and put the living room at the rear where it can open to the backyard. Consider adding a paved terrace or deck off the living room and perhaps a trellis for shade. The living room is one and a half stories high, for a greater sense of spaciousness without adding square footage. The top floor frames views from a private roof terrace, a sort of backyard-in-the-sky.

Important Information

In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.

To find out what documents you should expect with your house plans, see
What's Included?

In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.

Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
