House Plan Description Litte Gambrel fits into our Little House category at 1,054 sq ft. With careful attention to architectural detail, the exterior has a unique gambrel roof design. When approaching the front entrance, two-thirds of the porch has roof cover. The Main Floor provides an open Kitchen, Dining, and Family environment to give the feeling of a large room with continuity. The two 127 and 133 sq ft bedrooms are nestled past the hallway with views of the back yard. Through conscientious planning and working with a small amount of living space, a 235 sq ft Sunken Living Room is included. The Living Room also embodies a wood or pellet stove hookup, if you desire. Including a window in the Kitchen brings in much needed exterior light. Extra food storage can be settled in the Pantry. The Garage Passenger door is positioned by the Side Porch instead of door access to the Family Room, so the 204 sq ft Family Room could maintain a level of privacy. At roughly 13’6 x 6’, the Private Side Porch was developed secondary to the theme of the dual gamrel side roofs. Laundry hookup is provided in the 13’4 x 21’2 Garage. Many folk are abandoning larger homes for smaller ones with much lower pricetags, yet still desire elbow space and a level of middle-class comfort. Let’s rethink the Living Room space again…an extra area to socialize, an extended room for overnight guests, or you decide. Thank you for touring “Little Gambrel.”

Important Information

All plans are copywrited by the Designer.
All plans are delivered as pdf (portable document format) electronic files.
All plans are drawn at ¼” scale or larger, with the exception of plan footprints shown on the front page of drawings at scales of 1/8” or larger.
All sales are final as stated below: When you place an order from this web site, you are directed to Paypal for payment, whereupon you may pay with a Paypal account. Paypal offers the option to use major credit cards without establishing a Paypal account. Within 24 hours after payment is made, we will send you an email with your password and download link, which expires in 72 hours. Once we send you the password and download link, the sale is final.
The drawings are not stamped by a licensed professional (e.g. architect, engineer).
In most areas of the country, these plans include the information needed to build your home, but not necessarily everything you need to obtain a building permit. Some states have very strict engineering requirements, primarily due to seismic and hurricane conditions. If you are building in earthquake-prone or hurricane-prone areas, California, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois, the drawings will likely have to be reviewed by a licensed, local professional. Plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a Nevada licensed architect. Be prepared to hire a local, licensed architectural or structural engineer, in the event necessary, to review the drawings and perhaps provide engineering analysis and structural calculations of the home design. Also anticipate to have a Draftsperson on hand to make minor changes per the request of the local licensed Building Officials, e.g. (add notes, stronger hurricane ties).
You will probably need a site plan that shows where the home will be located. You may also need a septic design if your lot is not served by a sanitary sewer system. In some regions, required roof loads are greater than our design criteria of 20 pounds per feet square live load and 20 pounds per feet square dead load (sometimes we design at 30 psf/10 psf), particularly in areas of heavy snow. You may need heavier beams, sized by a licensed architect/engineer to accommodate roof loads within your region (e.g. the local licensed engineer might ask you to change the drawing from 2" x 8" roof rafters to 2" x 10" rafters).
If you desire a plan modification such as a foundation change, please allow our designers three weeks to make the changes. We are also available for Custom Home Designs. For unique consideration, please contact us. In the meantime, you may check the status of your order by clicking on ”my account” in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
