The master suite has two sets of triple windows to bring in light.
On the upper level, double doors open the loft bedroom to a big balcony and an open rail allows views into the living room below. The adorable book niche is tucked away to the side providing a quiet corner to read in. The full bedroom has a balcony of its own and access to the bathroom.
On the ground level, this home has a lower foyer, bedroom and bath plus a laundry room.

Building Code

Because of the wide range of requirements throughout states and municipalities, it is possible that the plans may not have all of the information required by your building department. If this is the case, we recommend hiring a local design professional or engineer who can assist bringing the plans up to your local building code.

Engineering

Some states require that a licensed architect or engineer review and stamp the plans. If this is the case where you will be building, a local professional will be able to assist you.

Important Extras: Sold separately

Readable Reverse Plans

The layout is reversed and all the writing is corrected so you can read the writing. With this option, all of your sets will appear the way you want to build the home. This option is available for an additional charge.

Mirror Reverse Plans

The lettering and dimensions will read backwards, so you will need to order at least one set non-reversed as a reference copy.
