Usa 1305 is a 1,305 sq ft single-level residence that centers its architectural identity on a 954 sq ft wraparound porch. Designed for a 40 ft 2 in width and 84 ft depth, this plan utilizes a 2-car side-load garage to maintain clean lines along the front elevation. The structure reaches a maximum building height of 22 ft 6 in, anchored by a blend of 8:12 and 3:12 roof pitches that provide a classic profile.
The interior layout prioritizes a cluster-bedroom configuration, separating the two bedrooms to ensure privacy. The 1,305 sq ft of heated living space is organized around an open-concept core, where a kitchen island serves as a central hub for meal preparation and social interaction. A dedicated keeping room connects to the kitchen area, while a mud room and first-floor laundry zone provide practical utility for daily operations.
Interior volume is defined by 10-foot ceilings throughout the main level, which work to extend the perceived scale of the 1,305 sq ft floor plan. This verticality enhances the natural light penetration within the living areas, creating a consistent environment from the primary suite to the guest quarters. The design focuses on compact efficiency without sacrificing the utility of a larger home.
Structural integrity is provided by 2x6 exterior wall framing paired with a combination of stick and truss roof framing methods. The 869 sq ft side-load garage is positioned to minimize its visual impact on the streetscape, allowing the wraparound porch to remain the primary focus of the home's exterior. This configuration is optimized for lots that require a deep, narrow footprint while maximizing usable outdoor space.
