Grand elegance brings out the serene Southern style of this country home plan. The exterior is wrapped in a large sitting porch, accented with columns and open pediments. Immediately Inside, there is a high-style staircase sitting in the center of the formal foyer. To either side of the entry are libraries and the spacious dining hall. To the rear of the layout, find the grand salon awash in natural light from the bank of windows gently bowed across the back wall.
From the entry, we make a slow left to find an expansive library. This Colonial Home Plan calls for tempered woodwork and glorious detail. This makes for a Library that is not normally found in a Southern Home Plan.
From the Library we find ourselves drawn into the overwhelming Master Suite. This Colonial Home Plan makes many concessions for personal and private comfort. The Master Suite itself gives way to a sitting area. Within your private oasis of the Sitting Area, there is a fireplace that brings comfort to you on those rainy or winter days. You will also find peace among the many windows that provide an uncanny view of your landscape. In addition, there are treats within this Master Suite like no other.
Gorgeous family spaces include the Keeping Room with a roaring one of a kind fireplace. Next, we find a glorious Morning Room with views and complete Veranda access. The Kitchen is a chef's dream featuring two work islands. From any of the adjacent rooms, your family can experience the aromas & almost taste the flavors. While also making it easy for the chef to visualize and participate in all the activities that take place encircling the Kitchen. From here you also have more amenities.
The construction drawings will include detailed, dimensioned floor plans, exterior elevations, roof plan, foundation plan, basic electrical layout, cross-section(s), foundation plan, and other general specifications. Some plans will include interior cabinet layouts.

All house plans sold by Archival Designs have been designed to comply with the International Residential Code (IRC) and to the local codes in the area where the designer resides or where the house was built.
All house plans are designed to meet or exceed the national building standards required by the International Residential Code (IRC). Due to differences in climate and geography throughout North America, every city, local municipality and county has unique building codes and regulations that must be followed to obtain a building permit. Prior to purchasing a set of house plans, we recommend that you meet with your local building officials in order to determine the building requirements for your area. It is the responsibility of the purchaser(s) and/or builder to ensure that the structure is constructed to meet the codes of their local area.
Important Note:
House plans do not come stamped or signed by an architect or engineer. Additionally, house plans typically will not include structural engineering notes/calculations. Please check with your local building officials to determine if a stamp is required. If required, the building department will only accept a stamp from a licensed professional in the state where the home will be built.
Depending on your city, county, and state building requirements, house plans may need to be reviewed by a local licensed architect or engineer for structural details and code standards before construction begins. This is particularly true in coastal areas and those facing seismic events, extreme winds, and heavy snow. If you are building in any of these areas, a licensed structural engineer will likely be needed to provide the necessary calculations and additional drawings. We authorize the use of our plans conditioned on your obligation and agreement to strictly comply with all local building codes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements, including permits and inspections at the time of and during construction. We recommend checking with your local building department for the most current requirements. The purchaser(s) and/or builder are responsible for additional expenses incurred through meeting municipality requirements or other requirements for construction.
Our foundation plans have been designed for universal conditions and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific site conditions. The foundation should be modified by a local structural engineer to comply with soil testing laboratory findings and local building requirements.
Our house plans will include schematic electrical drawings; however, circuiting or wire sizing will not be included. Your electrical subcontractor will typically provide these drawings.
HVAC and plumbing drawings are not included. Your mechanical and plumbing subcontractors will determine the best layout for your site. Local HVAC codes, climatic requirements and commonly used systems vary throughout the country. The direction of how water flow will enter the home vary from case to case. For this reason, it is impossible to provide universal plans.
