A Walk Through The Louisville

If you’re looking for contemporary house plans that combine beauty and functionality, you’ll definitely want to take a look at the blueprints for the Louisville. With so much curb appeal, this is a home that will welcome you back from work each and every day. The asymmetrical exterior design gives this home a charming, artful appearance that is certain to make it stand out from all the other homes in your neighborhood. Wood and stone siding make this home perfect for wooded lots, enhancing the atmosphere such that you won’t be able to resist spending summer evenings out on the front deck. Here, there are both vaulted and uncovered portions of the deck so that you can enjoy sun or shade as you desire, with a second-story vantage that gives you a beautiful view of the surrounding scenery.

No contemporary design would be complete without enormous windows, which you will find in the Louisville’s great room. Whether you’re working in the kitchen or curled up next to the fire in the great room, you’ll be able to enjoy the same sweeping view of the outdoors as you would from the deck. This space also contains an ample dining room. When holidays roll around, you’ll find the kitchen’s smart design makes it easy for you to feast them, and they’ll be treated to the same gorgeous view of the outdoors that you get to enjoy each day.

This is a home well suited to a big backyard, and as soon as you see the Louisville’s rear porch, which leads into a laundry area, you’ll see why. The kids can be out playing outside all day long, but when it comes time for them to return for dinner, the laundry room doubles as a mud room where they can kick off shoes and clean up rather than tracking dirt through the house. The nice thing about this laundry room is that it’s also situated near to the home’s four bedrooms—and on the same level, too. Laundry day will be easy since you won’t have to navigate stairs with heavy laundry baskets.

On this home’s primary level, there are three bedrooms for the kids, which means you’ll have plenty of room to expand your family—and even space for a home office, if you so desire. Then there is the master suite, which is designed to give you a restful space to unwind after a busy day. Beautiful windows overlook your front yard, and the vaulted ceiling gives the room a sense of space. The master bath and walk-in closet offer a wonderful blend of functionality and luxury to ensure your morning and evening routines are a stress-free and soothing experience each day.

The lower floor gives you lots of options. The two-car garage is large enough for the family’s vehicles, plus all of your favorite outdoor toys, too. Here, there is also a large storage room, which can serve many purposes. Fill it with cabinets and shelving to keep organized, or this space can also serve as a quiet, secluded studio or workshop.

Unique rooflines and asymmetrical designs create rooms that feel as grand as they are innovative. With a focus on maximizing square footage and minimizing costs, these pioneering modern homes are as reasonable to build as they are pleasant to live in, which we're sure you'll love.

Mountain Modern

Mountain modern architectural style homes are inspired by the natural beauty of mountainous regions and are designed to blend in with their surroundings. These homes are often located in ski resorts, mountain towns, or other natural settings and are designed to take advantage of the views. They are characterized by their use of natural materials, such as wood, stone, and glass, and may have large windows or outdoor living spaces to bring the outdoors in. Mountain modern homes may have a contemporary or traditional aesthetic, and may incorporate elements such as steep pitched roofs, exposed beams, and stone or wood exteriors. The interiors of these homes often feature a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, with an emphasis on natural materials and a connection to the surrounding landscape. Mountain modern architecture aims to create a harmonious relationship between the built environment and the natural surroundings.

Will This Design Work For Your Location?

The base code requires that the design of your structure meet certain requirements. The code allows for a couple of ways to meet these requirements. The first method is known as "prescriptive" wall bracing, and is built into the code as prescribed building elements that must be included at specified positions of the building. Prescriptive methods are acceptable as long as the structure's design fits within certain limitations (wall height, window size/location, etc.). The second method is to demonstrate, by engineering analysis, the forces imposed upon the structure, and the design of structural elements to withstand those forces. Whereas the prescriptive method imposes certain limitations on the design of the structure, the engineering analysis of the building allows for greater flexibility in the design, while ensuring it can withstand the actual natural forces the structure will experience.

In almost all cases, Mascord designs will require site specific engineering analysis. This analysis is required to be conducted by a professional, such as a structural engineer, who is licensed by the state in which the structure will be built. The analysis is specific to the exact building site - for this reason, we do not have "pre-engineered" plans that can be built anywhere. An engineer will need to review the plans and provide an engineering analysis report and additional drawings and specifications to go along with your plans for permit submittal. You should allow for additional time and expense to complete this process.

Some regions have additional engineering requirements, such as earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Northwest, or the Gulf, Florida, & Carolina coasts that are frequented by hurricanes. Additional Wind and Seismic engineering drawings are required to accompany your home plans to obtain a building permit in most areas. These additional drawings need to be provided and stamped by a professional licensed in your state. In most cases we have working relationships established with engineers who can help you obtain the necessary drawings cost effectively, or you are welcome to source your own local engineer.

When the design includes retaining walls, these will also require engineering. Although the code provides for some prescriptive basement and concrete/masonry wall designs, these only work in limited situations. The use of site-engineered retaining walls allows for much greater design flexibility and ensures that the walls are designed specifically for the design loads, unique soils, fluid pressures, and drainage characteristics at the building site. It makes little sense to place the most expensive investment a family typically makes onto a foundation that is not designed for the unique characteristics of the land on which it is set.

All Mascord house plans are designed and detailed to conform to The International Residential Code (for orders out of state), or Oregon and Washington local state codes (for orders in those states).

Your area may have also have specific energy codes that have to be followed. Compliance could include filling out forms providing evidence that your construction drawings meet requirements. In many cases the forms are simple and can be filled out by yourself, or with the aid of your General Contractor.

To find out exactly what drawing details you should expect with your Mascord house plans, see "What's included in a Plan Set?"

If you aren’t sure what may be required, contact your building department and ask for a list of all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.

We typically calculate and provide sizing of beams for a snowload of 25 psf. You may need beams sized to accommodate larger roof loads specific to your region. We are able to help with this; please speak with our sales staff to discuss your options.

Building jurisdictions in several states - including California, New York, New Jersey, Nevada and Illinois - require that your home design is reviewed and your entire set of construction drawings is stamped by a local professional. If you are building in such an area, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your local building department.

In addition to the construction drawings, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on your chosen property, along with any grading and water management / septic system requirements.

Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our design information, we reserve the right to make corrections on our floor plans or elevations as needed.
