Homeowners across the country are bringing our plans to life in beautiful ways — each one adding their own style and personality. This week, we’re featuring two client builds that show how well our Transitional and New American house plans translate from blueprints to finished home.

Built in Louisiana, this 4-bedroom Transitional house plan stands out with its mix of brick, siding, and bold charcoal gray batten accents. The contemporary charcoal gray garage doors tie the exterior together for a clean, modern look that still feels timeless.

Inside, a two-story foyer opens to a bright living space with a coffered ceiling, brick fireplace, and large windows that draw in plenty of natural light. The kitchen sits at the heart of it all, connecting seamlessly to the dining area and outdoor spaces.

Out back, the rear porch features an outdoor kitchen and fireplace, creating an inviting spot for cooking, relaxing, or hosting friends year-round.

Built in Tennessee, this New American-style home delivers comfortable one-level living with a welcoming front porch and warm finishes that give it plenty of character.

The kitchen, dining area, and great room feel open and connected, creating an easy space for gathering. The kitchen’s large island anchors the space and offers room for casual seating, while the dining area looks out to the backyard — perfect for meals that stretch into conversation. A home office near the entry adds a quiet corner for work or study without interrupting the home’s flow.

In the primary suite, natural light fills the bedroom, and the adjoining bath features dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and easy access to the closet. A door to the covered rear porch brings in fresh air and a comfortable transition outdoors.

From two stories with bold curb appeal to one-level living that feels open and efficient, these client builds highlight how versatile our plans can be.
