Cottage Home Plans

CottageIf you are looking for a quality cottage style house plan, consider Taylor Made Plans. By combining the design elements of older homes with modern building materials and methods, we create home plans that have a beautiful historic feeling, yet are easy to build. Cottage style house plans are simple in design, so your home will blend naturally with surrounding historic homes. Neighborhoods featuring these homes create beautiful communities. Our cottage homes are well-designed with an emphasis on contemporary, open floor plans. They are ideal for everyone from single people to families.

Cottage Style House Plan Features

Simplicity and attention to detail are the hallmarks of a cottage style home. Cottage homes are built to a human scale and typically include:

  • Large, overhanging eaves
  • Exposed rafter tails
  • Inviting front porches
  • Tapered columns

Bungalow, Craftsman and Cottage Floor Plans

This style home is most commonly called "cottage," but it often goes by other names, such as "Bungalow" and "Craftsman." Influenced by California designs of the 1920's, architect and furniture designer Gustav Stickley is quoted as saying that the Craftsman-style bungalow is "a house reduced to its simplest form… its…proportions and absolute lack of ornamentation gives it a character so natural and unaffected that it seems to… blend with any landscape."

In addition to their beauty, cottage homes are practical. The focus on details, as opposed to size, reduces the cost of building materials, and we specify cost-effective and energy-efficient building methods and materials throughout our plans. Cottage homes offer a charming alternative to typical urban and suburban developments, and we're seeing these home designs make a major comeback.
