We’re wrapping up August with a fresh round of house plans, a few helpful new pages on our site, and a behind-the-scenes update you may have already spotted. Whether you’re planning a build soon or saving ideas for the future, here’s what’s new at Architectural Designs!
Just Added: New House Plans to Explore
This month’s new house plans cover a mix of styles — from Craftsman and Farmhouse to a unique upside-down floor plan. Here are three recent additions that highlight the range of designs we’ve added to the site:
3,868 Sq. Ft. | 4 Beds | 3.5 Baths
With a dramatic two-story great room, a dedicated home office, and flexible spaces like a loft and optional finished basement, this plan offers room to spread out and settle in. The open kitchen flows into the living and dining areas, giving the main level a bright, welcoming feel.
1,827 Sq. Ft. | 2 Beds | 2 Baths
Don’t let the smaller footprint fool you — this cozy cottage makes the most of every square foot. A vaulted living room adds height and character, while the open floor plan keeps things connected and easy to navigate. It’s a great fit for downsizers, small families, or anyone who wants a simple home that feels inviting.
2,857 Sq. Ft. | 4 Beds | 3.5 Baths
This design flips the script by placing the main living areas on the upper level — a great option if you want to take advantage of views or natural light. The window wall in the living room and open kitchen make the space feel expansive, while two bedrooms are located on each level for convenience and privacy.

New Page: All About Materials Lists
While our
Materials List add-on isn’t new, we now have a dedicated page that breaks down exactly what’s included and how it helps with your build. You can purchase a materials list with your house plan — or anytime after — and it gives you a detailed breakdown of building materials to help you plan and price your build more accurately with your contractor or supplier.
