Sophisticated Contemporary House Plan with Elevator, Media Room & Rooftop Deck – 5,281 Sq Ft

This sophisticated contemporary house plan presents a bold architectural composition designed for upscale modern living across three expansive levels. Offering 5,281 square feet of living space, the residence combines dramatic vertical design, refined interior planning, and versatile entertainment amenities within a sleek contemporary framework. With six bedrooms, multiple gathering areas, and an elevator connecting all floors, the home is carefully designed to support multigenerational living, entertaining, and long-term flexibility.

The exterior architecture reflects contemporary design principles through clean geometric forms, expansive glazing opportunities, and restrained ornamentation. Measuring 45 feet 6 inches wide by 67 feet 8 inches deep, the home establishes a commanding yet efficient footprint suited for urban and suburban lots alike. Rising to a height of 35 feet 3.5 inches, the residence emphasizes vertical scale while maintaining balanced modern proportions.

A covered front porch introduces the home with understated sophistication while providing a welcoming transition into the interior. Rear outdoor living areas, including a spacious patio and elevated balcony spaces totaling 270 square feet, strengthen the connection between indoor and outdoor environments and enhance the home’s entertainment capabilities.

Inside, the first floor is organized around expansive open-concept living spaces that maximize natural light, circulation, and visual openness. The dramatic two-story grand room serves as the architectural centerpiece of the home, creating an impressive vertical volume anchored by a fireplace that introduces warmth and intimacy into the modern interior composition.

The great room flows seamlessly into the dining and kitchen areas, reinforcing the home’s emphasis on connected social living. A formal dining room provides an elegant setting for gatherings and special occasions while preserving visual continuity with the surrounding spaces.

The kitchen is designed as both a functional culinary workspace and a central social hub. A large kitchen island with eating bar seating encourages informal interaction and casual dining, while the adjacent walk-in pantry enhances storage and organization. The open arrangement allows the kitchen to remain visually integrated with the primary living spaces, supporting modern entertaining and family-centered living.

The first floor also includes a private guest suite, ideal for visitors or extended family accommodations. A dedicated home office or study provides quiet workspace flexibility for remote work, business activities, or academic use. Functional support spaces such as the mud room and powder room improve organization and daily convenience without interrupting the home’s clean architectural flow.

One of the defining features of this contemporary design is the integrated elevator, which provides convenient access to all levels of the residence and enhances long-term accessibility and livability.

The second floor is dedicated primarily to private living quarters. The luxurious master suite serves as a spacious retreat complete with a large walk-in closet, private balcony access, and a refined master bath featuring dual vanity sinks, a soaking tub, and separate shower. Additional upper-level bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to maximize privacy and comfort while maintaining efficient circulation throughout the floor.

A second-floor laundry room adds practical convenience near the primary bedroom areas, supporting efficient everyday living.

The third floor significantly expands the home’s entertainment and recreational capabilities. This level includes a media room designed for cinematic viewing experiences, a flexible multipurpose room adaptable for fitness, hobbies, or additional guest accommodations, and a spacious recreation room ideal for gaming, social gatherings, or secondary family living.

Additional storage areas on the third level improve organization and long-term functionality, while the weather deck introduces a unique outdoor retreat elevated above the surrounding property. This rooftop-style outdoor space enhances the home’s contemporary character and provides opportunities for entertaining, relaxation, and panoramic views.

The attached front-load two-car garage integrates naturally into the architectural composition while maintaining clean exterior lines. Constructed on a basement foundation with durable 2x6 wall framing, the residence emphasizes structural integrity, energy efficiency, and lasting construction quality.

Architecturally, this contemporary house plan succeeds through its balance of dramatic openness, refined private living spaces, and expansive entertainment amenities distributed across three levels. The combination of a two-story grand room, elevator access, rooftop weather deck, media and recreation rooms, and luxurious suite accommodations creates a highly versatile and enduring modern residence designed for sophisticated contemporary lifestyles.

Review image
JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. This home has outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us. I work from home so having the home office off the foyer is fantastic. I converted the wet bar into a storage closet for my office. We also extended the laundry room into the porch and created a multipurpose laundry/mud room. I would buy from archival designs again and again.

It took almost a year to pick a plan. Since my husband and I retired a few years ago we wanted this last house had to have everything we wanted and needed. The kitchen is my favorite part of the house. I can see what’s happening in my neighborhood through my kitchen window and watch my husband garden in the back yard. Our children think we made a smart decision when we picked this house for our senior years.

We’ve had an amazing experience with our new home and are excited to be moved in. The customer service we received during our modifications was exceptional. We are loving the open layout of the kitchen and family room. It feels spacious and I’m already planning on hosting holiday dinners at home. We recommend Archival Designs to anyone interested in building the home they’ve always wanted!

We absolutely adore the Kildare Place house plan. Made some modifications to make this home ours! Our house is the talk of the neighborhood. We host big parties every holiday and still get compliments from our friends and family. We searched for months and looked through hundreds of floor plans and this one had almost everything we wanted, and with the help of the great staff at Archival Designs we got exactly what we wanted!

FAQ

Can I modify this Sophisticated Contemporary House Plan with Elevator, Media Room & Rooftop Deck – 5,281 Sq Ft now or later?

Absolutely. We offer in-house modification services to adjust layouts, room sizes, or expand garages before purchase. If you prefer to make adjustments during the construction phase, purchasing the CAD file package allows your local builder or architect to make on-site changes. Simply click 'Request a Modification' for a free quote.

How much will it cost to build this Sophisticated Contemporary House Plan with Elevator, Media Room & Rooftop Deck – 5,281 Sq Ft and why aren't exact costs shown? 

Construction costs vary significantly ($150–$300+ per sq. ft.) based on your location, material choices, and local labor rates. Because site preparation and regional codes differ, it is hard to provide a universal cost always.

Will this Sophisticated Contemporary House Plan with Elevator, Media Room & Rooftop Deck – 5,281 Sq Ft fit my lot, and can I add a basement or flip the layout?

You can check the 'Modifications' tab for width and depth requirements. To fit your site's orientation, most plans are available in a 'Right Reading Reverse' (mirrored) format. We also offer slab, crawlspace, and basement foundation adjustments for every design.

Do your plans meet building codes in my area and do I need a professional stamp?

Our plans meet or exceed national IRC (International Residential Code) standards. However, due to varying local requirements regarding seismic, wind (hurricane), or snow loads, house plans do not come with a professional architect’s or engineer’s seal. Most municipalities require a review and stamp by a local licensed professional to obtain a building permit.

Are plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical drawings included?

We provide the architectural and schematic electrical framework, but HVAC and plumbing layouts are not included. Because local codes and climate-specific systems vary significantly across the country, these are best finalized by your local subcontractors to ensure your home’s systems are optimized for your specific site and energy requirements.

Why should I choose Archival Designs and are the plans guaranteed?

With over 40 years of experience, Archival Designs provides high-quality, builder-ready designs that balance aesthetic elegance with structural integrity. We offer a Best Price Guarantee, a 10% discount for military and first responders, as well as builder discounts for life. And loyalty perks for pro builders. All plans are designed to comply with the IRC codes at the time of their creation. Learn more about our Best Price Guarantee.
