Traditional Collection
Traditional house plans celebrate America's rich architectural heritage, combining timeless elegance with familiar comfort. These beloved homes typically feature symmetrical facades, multi-paned windows, and welcoming front porches that create an instant connection to established neighborhoods and historical districts.
Drawing inspiration from Colonial, Georgian, and European influences, Traditional floor plans offer proven layouts that have stood the test of time. The characteristic center hall design leads to formal living and dining rooms, while the kitchen and family room create a natural gathering space. Two-story designs often showcase a prominent staircase and 9-foot ceilings that enhance the sense of space.
Modern Traditional homes seamlessly integrate contemporary conveniences while maintaining classic proportions. Open-concept kitchen and family room combinations, first-floor primary suites, and dedicated home offices adapt these timeless designs for today's lifestyles. Mudrooms, walk-in pantries, and indoor-outdoor living spaces add practical functionality without compromising architectural authenticity.
The exterior typically features brick or clapboard siding, multi-gabled rooflines, and distinctive elements like dormers, shutters, and detailed trim work. A blend of hip and gable roofs, along with balanced window placement, creates the dignified street presence that makes Traditional homes a cornerstone of America's most desirable neighborhoods.
Inside, Traditional floor plans prioritize defined spaces while maintaining natural flow. Four-bedroom layouts are common, with split bedroom designs offering privacy for the primary suite. Formal rooms can flex to accommodate home offices or libraries, while breakfast nooks and butler's pantries enhance everyday living. Upstairs bonus rooms and finished basements provide space for changing needs.
These homes resonate with families seeking established neighborhoods, proven resale value, and architectural character that transcends trends. Whether you're building in an historic district or a new community, Traditional house plans offer enduring appeal that bridges past and present with grace and sophistication.

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.
