Modern architecture is defined by clarity of form, purposeful simplicity, and the intelligent use of space—and the Calverton Modern 42549 embodies those principles beautifully. This thoughtfully designed Modern House proves that exceptional design does not require excessive square footage. Within just 1195 sq ft, this plan delivers a refined architectural experience that balances style, function, and flexibility for today’s homeowners.
The exterior of the Calverton Modern 42549 introduces a clean, confident presence. Its low-profile 4:12 roof pitch reinforces the horizontal lines typical of modern design, while the proportions of the façade create a calm, grounded silhouette. The covered front porch—spanning 160 square feet—extends a warm welcome and adds architectural depth to the elevation. It becomes more than an entry; it becomes an everyday outdoor living space where morning coffee, evening conversations, and quiet moments naturally unfold.
With a building width of 40 feet and depth of 48'8", the structure feels balanced and intentional. The front-load 2 car garage integrates seamlessly into the design rather than overpowering it, offering practical convenience without sacrificing curb appeal. The overall height of just over 16 feet further reinforces the modern aesthetic—streamlined, grounded, and accessible.
All living spaces are located on a single level, making this 1195 sq ft home exceptionally accessible and practical. The layout includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage, a combination that is highly sought after for small families, downsizers, and first-time homeowners alike.
The primary suite is thoughtfully positioned for privacy and comfort. Featuring a private master bath and walk-in closet, it becomes a true personal retreat rather than just another bedroom. The placement on the first floor enhances long-term livability, making the home suitable for a wide range of life stages.
Two additional bedrooms are positioned to offer flexibility—perfect for children, guests, or a dedicated home office. The shared second bathroom is conveniently located, supporting both daily routines and occasional visitors with ease.
The kitchen, while compact, is intelligently designed and highly functional. A wall pantry provides essential storage without consuming unnecessary floor space, ensuring the kitchen remains efficient yet uncluttered. The adjacent family/keeping room creates a natural gathering zone, reinforcing the emotional heart of the home.
A dedicated first-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience, while direct laundry access from the garage supports real-life functionality—ideal for busy households, outdoor lifestyles, or anyone who values practical design.
With its intelligent use of 1195 sq ft, desirable configuration of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage, and thoughtful everyday features, this Modern House offers far more than its size suggests. It is a home designed not just to be built—but to be lived in deeply and meaningfully.
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.
