How Our Plans Are Organized

Our plans are organized first by a Main Category (American, British, French, etc), and secondly by a Sub Style (Cape Code, Acadian, etc).
You may use the filter tools on the Plan Search Page to narrow down your selections based on your preferred home style. Take note, that most plans can be modified to that

Shingle-style homes show continuous wood shingles covering the exterior walls and roof, creating a unified, sculptural mass. They often have irregular floor plans, asymmetrical façades, and prominent porches or balconies, reflecting an informal yet grand seaside aesthetic.

Originating in New England in the late 19th century, Shingle Style was a response to Victorian excess, favoring simpler ornamentation while maintaining a sense of luxury. It was often employed in resort areas like Newport, Rhode Island, giving wealthy homeowners a more relaxed, yet still elegant, retreat.
