This February's first design is a spacious getaway on a lakeside lot in southwestern New Hampshire. It features our Beamed Roof System and Full Exposure Wall System throughout, and areas with a flat ceiling are our Plaster and Beam Mid-Floor System. The main level is about 1800 sq. ft. and is designed for one-level living, with two bedrooms on the left side and a full bath. The center section has a large kitchen and pantry in the back, with a laundry room, hallway and entry in front. To the right side rear is an open great room with a fireplace, and the dining room in the front. The right side areas have a beamed cathedral ceiling above. Upstairs is about 1200 and is the master bedroom suite with a beamed cathedral ceiling throughout, and a living area loft that looks down onto the living areas below. The lower/walkout basement level (not included) is also about 1600 and has a large family room which opens out into the yard beyond. In the center is an area for storage and utilities, and another bedroom with a full bath is toward the back. The house is currently designed with an attached three-car garage. The walkout level (daylight basement), garage, and 115 connector are not included in the above pricing.
We can customize our designs to better fit your needs, and even start a new design from scratch. Garages, walk-out/daylight basements, porches, decks, etc. can be added or removed. Our design service is included as part of the material package price; we do not have a separate architectural or design fee for creating or customizing your plan.
The lower package price assumes more drywall finishes, while the upper price assumes more exposed timbers and wood ceiling finishes. Select the wall system, mid-floor system, and roof system(s) you would like for your project based on aesthetics, budget, and practicality. Our package price can be reduced by removing any of the exterior finish materials that we typically supply (siding/ trim, roof shingles, windows/doors). Note that when shipping outside the northeast almost all packages have those items removed, as shipping them long distances doesn't usually make sense.
Depending on framing options you select, the price could be lower or higher. Pricing is expected to be valid through 2024, but may need to change if there are significant changes in material costs before then (currently an extremely volatile market). Walkout basements and/or garages can typically be added to any home, but are not included in our initial price (whether drawn on plans or not). Prices are based on engineering requirements of up to 90 mile per hour wind speed, up to 65 pound snow load, and low seismic activity zones. Our packages can be adapted for higher ratings; this may result in a higher price. Pricing errors on our site are rare, but a price change for your package may be required if a mistake is found.
