Charming One-Bedroom Retreat is a 1,008 sq ft single-story residence engineered with a 60'3" frontage and 25'4" depth. This compact footprint prioritizes efficient circulation through a 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath configuration, making it a viable solution for ADU-style living or a minimalist primary residence. The exterior architecture utilizes a dual-pitch roof system with 12:12 and 2:12 slopes, contributing to an 18'8" maximum building height that provides a distinct profile.
The interior is organized around an open-concept core, where the great room serves as the central hub for the floor plan. A kitchen island with an integrated eating bar acts as a physical divider between the culinary space and the living area, maintaining direct sightlines throughout the primary zone. The 9-foot ceiling heights increase the perceived volume of the 1,008 square feet of heated living space, allowing for enhanced natural light penetration.
Private quarters consist of a master suite that includes a walk-in closet and access to a full bathroom. A secondary half-bathroom is positioned to support guest use while preserving the privacy of the primary suite. The total 1,155 square feet of under-roof space includes 147 square feet of porch area, divided between covered front and rear porch structures that extend the living envelope to the exterior.
The structural design is optimized for a slab foundation, utilizing a simple layout that maximizes interior square footage by minimizing hallway space. With 1,008 square feet of living area, the home provides a balance of utility and comfort for single-level requirements. The exterior wall and roof framing are specified to support the 8-inch roof pitch variations, ensuring durability and a consistent aesthetic across all elevations.

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.
