November gave us plenty to celebrate, with new house plans, more Interactive 360° Tours to explore, a helpful browsing upgrade — and a milestone we’re especially grateful for.
If you’re browsing ideas between holiday plans or looking ahead to a future build, this month’s updates are designed to help you feel confident as you narrow down the right floor plan. And if your favorites list is starting to grow, these tools should make comparing plans feel a lot easier.
A New Way to Browse and Save Plans
Before we get to this month’s new plans, we want to highlight a browsing upgrade you’ll see throughout this post. You’ll notice refreshed plan preview cards, designed to help you compare options faster. With the new cards, you can:
Click straight into the plan detail page
Save a plan to your Favorites as you browse
Jump to client build photos or Interactive Tours when available
If you haven’t created an
Architectural Designs account yet, this is a great time to do it. Saving favorites makes it easy to compare floor plans later, share ideas with family, or come back when you’re ready to take the next step.
You’ll see the new card style below, featuring
Plan 56535SM.
3 New House Plans We Added in November
This month’s new additions bring a mix of styles and floor plan features that buyers continue to love — open gathering spaces, standout private suites, and strong indoor-outdoor connections. If you’re early in the process and still narrowing your list, these three new plans are a helpful place to start.
Modern Farmhouse Hosting-Friendly Plan
Loading plan...
This modern farmhouse house plan is made for families who love to host. The main level has an open floor plan with unobstructed views across the kitchen, dining, and great room, so gatherings feel connected without feeling crowded.
A spacious pantry and a well-placed mudroom give you the kind of storage that keeps hosting simple — room for serving pieces, small appliances, and all the “extra” items that can otherwise take over the kitchen. And when the weather’s nice, the large covered porch across the back of the home extends your living space outdoors without adding square footage.
Best for: homeowners who want a welcoming, easy-to-host-in floor plan with great storage.
French Country Plan With a Wow Primary Suite

If a standout primary suite is high on your list, this French Country house plan delivers. The suite includes a private sitting room, a luxurious bathroom with a soaking tub and a huge shower, and a walk-in closet that feels more like a dressing room — complete with a center island. Even better, the closet connects directly to the laundry room, making everyday routines smoother.
The rest of the floor plan supports that same comfort-first idea, with open main living spaces and a porch setup made for relaxing or entertaining.
Best for: buyers who want a one-story plan with a truly impressive primary suite.
Modern Plan With a Two-Story Great Room

This modern house plan is all about views — inside and out. The two-story kitchen, dining, and living spaces create a dramatic centerpiece for the floor plan, and the multipurpose loft above looks down into the main living area, so the home feels connected across levels without giving up privacy.
Out back, a huge wraparound covered porch anchors the home to the outdoors. Whether you’re watching kids play, hosting friends, or just enjoying quiet mornings, the rear porch makes the most of the setting.
Best for: anyone who wants an airy, design-forward floor plan with strong indoor-outdoor living.
If you want to get a better feel for a plan before buying, the Interactive Tours below are a great next step.
