Modern Farmhouse Plans Now for Sale
Nov 10, 2010
Little did I know when I started designing my own house in 2000 that nine years later people from around North America would be asking to buy the plans. Such has been the case since the house was featured in Fine Homebuilding's Annual Houses Issue in spring 2009. Download the article:
"Rural Landscape, Modern Sensibility" from Fine Homebuilding's Annual Houses Issue, Spring 2009
I wrestled with the idea of selling the plans. Having a home that's unique was important to me. But I kept hearing my own words oft repeated here on the blog: "Design for everyone." My life has been enhanced by the design of this house. It's really nothing fancy, but the attention I put into proportions, flow, and light combined with the use of natural materials has resulted in something worth sharing… apparently. If the design resonates with someone else, I'm happy to provide the means to create it and put their own personal touches on it.
And so the decision was made for me. Licensed rights to construct a single home and one set of reproducible prints are available for purchase. Plans include the house plus detached garage, a foundation/basement plan, attic plan, site plan (for using the passive solar features), elevations, and a window/door schedule. Study plans are not available, however, an extensive online photo album showing every room in the house and many exterior angles may be reviewed upon request. If you want more information on how to buy the house plans for my modern farmhouse, please email me for the details.

I was hoping that you could tell me the square footage of this house. I've been looking for a unique modern farmhouse for awhile now.

If for only the mudroom alone! this set of plans is worth it. I've been in the house and it is the most thoughtful home I've ever been in. As Maddy says, "It's a mansion I think." But don't let a 6YO's perspective put this home out of reach, it's the flow and the way the space is organized that makes it feel bigger than it's construction budget.Comment by: Rachel North
