Perched gracefully on a sloping lot, Hillside House Plan 2534 perfectly blends functional design with captivating hillside charm. This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers 1,568 square feet of thoughtfully designed heated living space, complemented by a basement and expansive outdoor areas, totaling over 3,100 square feet of versatile living. Its unique hillside layout takes full advantage of natural topography, flooding the interior with natural light and offering panoramic views from both front and rear outdoor spaces
Rooted in modern hillside architecture, this plan combines traditional warmth with contemporary practicality. Its low-pitch roofline, generous windows, and strong, clean lines reflect a balance between rugged, natural materials and refined craftsmanship. The design honors the beauty of its natural surroundings, emphasizing a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. With a covered front porch and rear patio, residents can savor serene vistas, whether enjoying morning coffee or evening gatherings.
The exterior of Plan 2534 exudes understated elegance. A covered front porch welcomes visitors into the home with classic proportions and detailing, while expansive windows create a harmonious interplay of light and shadow. The stick-framed roof with gentle 2:12 pitch provides a contemporary aesthetic while ensuring structural efficiency. Subtle architectural accents, including carefully scaled overhangs and trim, enhance curb appeal and create a lasting first impression. The rear patio extends living space outdoors, encouraging seamless interaction with nature and the surrounding hillside.
On the main floor, the expansive great room, breakfast area, and kitchen are perfectly positioned for both casual living and elegant entertaining. The kitchen island becomes a natural gathering point, while the dining area offers a scenic backdrop of the hillside setting. A first-floor laundry adds convenience and efficiency to daily routines, and a mudroom provides functional storage and organization. Upstairs, a loft area offers flexible space ideal for a home office, media room, or creative studio. Two additional bedrooms and baths provide comfortable accommodations for family or guests. The rear patio encourages outdoor living, connecting seamlessly with the home’s interior and maximizing hillside views.

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.
