Deck house plans blend indoor and outdoor living with their signature elevated design and extensive decking that wraps around the home's exterior. These distinctive architectural plans typically feature large windows, vaulted ceilings, and open-concept layouts that maximize views and natural light while creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape.

The heart of a Deck floor plan is its expansive main level, which often includes an integrated great room, dining area, and kitchen that open directly onto covered deck spaces. Primary bedrooms commonly feature private deck access, while secondary bedrooms benefit from generous windows and outdoor views. Many designs incorporate a walkout lower level that can serve as additional living space, a recreation room, or guest accommodations.

Modern Deck house plans have evolved to include energy-efficient features like superior insulation, solar orientation, and smart home technology. Updated layouts frequently showcase gourmet kitchens with islands, spa-like master bathrooms, and flexible home office spaces. Contemporary plans often integrate outdoor kitchens, screened porches, and multi-level decking systems that create distinct zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining.

These homes are particularly well-suited for sloping lots, waterfront properties, and mountain settings where maximizing views and outdoor living is essential. The elevated design also provides practical benefits like improved ventilation, reduced moisture concerns, and the potential for covered parking or storage beneath the main living area. Deck house plans appeal to those who appreciate architectural character, prioritize indoor-outdoor connection, and desire a home that embraces its natural surroundings while providing modern comfort.

Exterior Wall Construction Choices

Most of our stock plans come as 2x4 exterior wall construction by default. We do provide options to change the exterior wall type. Those options include 2x6 exterior walls, Post Frame Construction, CMU Block Construction, etc.

Foundation Types

When de signing our house plans, a default foundation is set for a given plan. If possible, we include options to change the foundation type to better match your construction needs. For instance, if the default foundation is an unfinished basement, you'll have the option to change the foundation type to a walkout foundation, crawlspace, or slab foundation.

Please note: Some of our plans are designed with special foundation needs, such as post and pier for waterfront properties. These plans may not allow an option to choose another foundation type. If you find yourself in need of an alternate foundation and aren't given the choice, please fill out the alteration request on the plan page.

Right Reading Reverse

One of our more popular options is reversing the plan. Ordering the reverse option will not only flip the plan on the sets for you, it will also correct the text to make the plan read correctly while reversed.

CAD Files

All of our plans are offered as digital PDF downloads. If you want to make changes to the plan yourself, there is an add-on option that will give you the CAD files. Our CAD files are exported in AutoCAD format. You must have software capable of opening CAD files to use them. This option is great if you are in the business of home building and need to make slight changes to the plans per lot.
