Plan Description
Modern House Plan - 3 Bedrooms - Great Window Views – Contemporary Home Design at Family Home Plans
Which part of this home catches your eye first? Is it the beautiful front courtyard, planted with your favorite woodland natives? Or is it the seamless way that the stone and natural wood exterior elements blend with the forest surrounding your home? Either way, we think that you’ll agree: this home is designed to be your very own backcountry paradise. No matter where you are, inside or outdoors, you will be at one with nature. Nowhere is this theme more true than in the open living and dining area. A wall of windows to the front of the room lets you gaze out over the courtyard, while doors to the outdoor living space gives you a way to escape into the woods any time you want. Once the autumn leaves start to fall, you can continue enjoying the wilderness from the warmth and comfort of your home — just light a fire in the living area fireplace and enjoy the natural display. Even in the home office, a space that you would think would be devoted to technology, you will still be able to bask in the delights of your woodland setting. Windows overlooking your backyard let the dappled sunlight in. When you are ready to take your lunch break, sneak out through the office door to the patio and enjoy a light meal while you listen to the birds twittering in the trees around your home. The amenities of this plan only serve to make your already blissful life even easier. For instance, the large kitchen pantry is only a few steps from the garage, which makes for a short trip between the car and a place to put those heavy bags of groceries. Just down the hall from the kitchen is a large laundry room, complete with counter space for sorting and folding clothes. And, in between the kitchen and garage is a compact mud room that gives you storage for coats and shoes as well as a great place to confine the mess that you and your family will track in from your woodland adventures. At the other end of the home, in the master suite, you will spend endless hours resting and relaxing. The spa tub in the master bathroom will be your own private oasis, just like a hot spring that you would find at an exotic mountain resort. And, with a doorway to the master bedroom private patio, you can nip outside to watch the stars or go for a moonlit stroll without disturbing your sleeping family.What's Included?
Exterior Elevations
In addition to the front exterior, your drawing set will include drawings of the rear and sides of your house as well. These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes. Particular attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents, or other finish items that make your home unique.
Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation, regardless of optional foundation page choices
Foundation Plan
The foundation page dimensions, concrete walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls, and any stepped foundation information along with any retaining wall info (schematic only). A typical wall section for the home is also usually included on this page (if not, it is elsewhere in your plan set, as space allows). If your plan features a poured concrete slab rather than a basement or crawlspace, the foundation page shows footings and details for the slab, and includes plumbing locations.
Floor Plan(s)
Exterior and interior wall framing, and windows/doors are dimensioned. Room sizes are indicated and any beams, posts and structural bearing points are called out. The floorplans include an electrical legend, and electrical fittings, lights and outlets are shown. Floor Plans will also indicate cross–section details (provided on the sections page) and show any special framing details applicable to the design. Cabinet elevations are included for kitchen and bathrooms; some designs feature cabinet elevations for design–related built–ins too.
Building Sections
Building sections show changes in floor, ceiling, or roof height, and the relationship of one level to another. Our section pages also show how the stairs are calculated (if there are some!) and depict roof and foundation members. We try and draw sections to show the most useful information — choosing locations where there are elements you or your contractor might need clarification on.
Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation, regardless of optional foundation page choices
Roof Plan
Roof framing or truss directions are shown, slope directions are indicated and structural members are sized and called out if applicable. The gravity loads used to calculate the rafters, beams and posts are indicated , and we also show gutters, downspouts, and any roof venting required for your home.
Notes and Details Page(s)
Your home comes detailed to meet the requirements of the latest adopted version of the ‘International Residential Code’, and our notes and details pages outline all the elements applicable to the design of your home. Compliance with further standards may need to be incorporated into your plan set, depending the requirements of your building department — these are usually done locally.

Previous Q & A
Q: What size are the plan pages and how many pages are in the set?
A: this plan has 8 drawing sheets and 2 general note sheets. The page size is 24 x 36.
Q: What is the distance from the sink on the Kitchen Island to the stove on the counter on the right side of the Kitchen?
A: The drawings show the distance between the sink and the stove is 4 feet. But it can be what ever the home owner and builder decide. If a lot of cooks in the kitchen they may want a bit more space. etc. Hope that helps.
Q: Is the roof an EPDM rubber roof?
A: Hi Yes that is exactly what is called out. On the roof plan it says "Waterproof membrane".. Cheers! Dm
Q: What type of materials are used on the outside to make it look like this?
A: Hi The material called out on the plans for the siding is: lap siding and the pillars are"Thin-Set" stone veneer. Cheers! Dm
Q: Thank you very much for the information and plans you sent. I have another question --- This property is going to be built in the snow area. Do you think this home would lend itself to a sloped roof modification considering where it will be built?
A: Hello I did talk to a designer and they suggest not to use this plan if you're building in a high snow area. Option 1240B would be better. Cheers! Dm
Q: Hello - I need to know the total area of the roof line, to make sure the total covered area does not exceed 3600/sf. Can you confirm? Thank you.
A: The under roof sq footage is 3903 sq. feet for plan 1240..
Q: Can you please tell me what size lot would be needed for this home?
A: This home is 78' Wide and 60' 6" Deep. You will need to figure out if it will fit on your lot based on those dimensions.
Q: Does this roof have a slight pitch or is it completely flat? Thank you! Mary Ann
A: The roof pitch is 1/12.
Q: What time of roofing works best with this house?
A: The roofing for this house is a waterproof membrane type roofing system.
Q: Good morning, what is the roof pitch? Also could you please clarify which the direction the pitch runs? From the renderings it appears the left and right wings run high in the front and low at the back. Is the main roof plane the same or the reverse? Great plan!
A: Hello - The roof pitch on plan 81203 is 1/12. Attached is a screenshot of the roof page that shows the direction of the roof slope.
View Attached File
Q: PDF File for $1,465 does not allow you to import into CAD and make changes...correct?
A: You are correct. You would need to purchase the CAD drawings to be able to make changes.
Q: What is the height of the doors going out to the patio? What is the size of the windows above and doors and the overall height from roof to patio?
A: The patio doors are 8' tall. The transom windows above the door are 3' X 4'. The patio height is 13'.
Q: What is the snow load calculation for this design. I live in zip code 64152 and want to be sure it will work there. Thank you.
A: ALL of our plans are 25lb roof snow load. The customer will need to ask their building department if that meets their requirements.
Q: Thank you for the quick reply to my question. I’m not clear, though, as I meant to ask if the exterior walls are poured concrete. Could you please clarify? Thanks!
A: Our plans do not use ICF. The walls are wood framed.
Q: I am in the Hvac business and am very interested in building this house in the Tampa,. Florida area. I was wondering if there are accommodations for the Hvac ductwork or is this something I would have to design/build? Beautiful design and I am in the purchasing stage for the lot and will be on to permitting soon. I am thinking maybe February to break ground. Thanks for your time and response.
A: To Whom It May Concern, Thank you for your interest in this plan.The house is designed on a crawlspace foundation and ducting is intended to run through the crawlspace. Sincerely, Karen
