About the House Plan
Print this page

The Tiny Traditional House Plan has been developed to fit into an urban or suburban situation. A perfect use for this house plan could be that extra office space that you always wanted. With more and more people working from home we it has become extremely important for home owners to actively separate their work environment from their home living space. This Tiny Traditional House Plan is a great way to give you some separation while still staying true to the aesthetic concepts that are welcome in most communities.

Floor Plan First Floor & Loft
This open floor plan represents a perfect use of efficient space. The common area acts as a palette for you to fill. Whether this home is being used as an office space, studio, apartment, or cabin, it is up to you on how to use this area to fit your needs. The kitchen is small but functional for those necessary energy breaks, or morning breakfast meals. The bathroom works well providing ample space for showering and freshening up. Finally, the loft space is a perfect crash pad with ample space for a bed, nightstand, or even as it’s own separate work space.

Important Information

In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.

To find out what documents you should expect with your house plans, see What’s Included?

In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.

Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
