Sandy Dune is a coastal house plan engineered with 3,464 sq ft of heated living space, optimized for a 42-foot width and 69-foot depth footprint. This two-story design utilizes a pier foundation and 2x6 wall framing to address coastal site requirements, while the 4:12 roof pitch contributes to a lower-profile aesthetic suited for waterfront or beach environments.
The first floor provides 1,933 sq ft of living area, anchored by a central great room that integrates with a kitchen island and walk-in pantry. This level includes a dedicated guest suite, a home office, and a half bathroom. The layout emphasizes transition to exterior spaces, featuring 421 sq ft of covered front porch area and 282 sq ft of rear porch space, complemented by an outdoor fireplace for climate-controlled exterior gatherings.

This level also incorporates additional bedrooms and a loft area, with access to both covered and open decks totaling 557 sq ft. An internal elevator provides vertical circulation between the levels, enhancing accessibility across the home's 37-foot 8-inch maximum building height.
Ceiling heights are set at 10 feet on the first level and 9 feet on the second level, creating distinct volumetric experiences throughout the interior. The structural design includes a 2-car garage with 1,933 sq ft of area, ensuring significant utility for storage or coastal equipment while maintaining the home's exterior proportions.

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.
