Modern Collection
Modern house plans embrace clean lines, open layouts, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. These innovative designs, which emerged in the early 20th century as a departure from ornate traditional styles, feature flat or low-pitched roofs, large windows, and minimal exterior ornamentation. The Modern aesthetic emphasizes function, incorporating natural light and sustainable materials while celebrating structural elements as design features.
Inside, Modern floor plans typically showcase open-concept living areas with soaring ceilings and flexible spaces that adapt to contemporary lifestyles. Primary living areas flow naturally into outdoor spaces through walls of windows and sliding glass doors, while bedrooms offer private retreats with abundant natural light. Many designs incorporate primary suites on the main level, with secondary bedrooms arranged to maximize privacy.
Today's Modern homes integrate smart technology, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable building practices while maintaining the style's core principles. Popular features include multi-functional spaces for remote work, wellness areas, and indoor-outdoor kitchens. The clean-lined architecture provides an ideal backdrop for both minimalist décor and personalized design elements.
Drawing inspiration from Mid-Century Modern and International style influences, these homes are particularly well-suited to lots with distinctive views or natural features. The emphasis on horizontal lines and large windows creates strong visual connections to the surrounding landscape, while strategic overhangs provide natural temperature control and shelter outdoor living spaces.
Modern house plans appeal to those who value architectural authenticity, efficient use of space, and a lifestyle centered on openness and light. Whether situated in urban, suburban, or rural settings, these homes offer a sophisticated living experience that balances aesthetics with functionality, making them especially popular among design-conscious homeowners seeking a contemporary yet timeless dwelling.

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.

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.
