A Walk Through The Dandridge

The Dandridge is one home that you cannot miss. Here, you will have all of the amenities of a home twice the size. Imagine your guests walking through this home’s front doors for the first time. They’ll walk into the foyer and immediately be greeted by the sight of your immense great room, made to feel even larger with high vaulted ceilings.

Depending on how you’d like to entertain, there are several possibilities. This home’s footprint provides the ideal setting for a backyard pool, so you could choose to host a pool party. If you’d rather not do that, then you can keep the festivities outside under the vaulted porch. With the beautiful view of your yard and the forest beyond, your friends will linger throughout the day. By night, you’ll want to light a fire in the outdoor fireplace to chase away the chill.

Indoor entertaining gives you several more options. Watch the big game in the great room, or simply host a relaxing evening around the fireplace. If your friends are gourmets, then they’ll enjoy a night in the kitchen. Chill some wine on the built-in wine bar and get to work, each person preparing their own gourmet treat.

Just off the kitchen is a family area. This is a great place for the kids to play, and on nights with your friends, it is a great place to gather around and enjoy the view through walls of windows. Host a night of board games, movies, cards or another fun activity.

You’ll have a lot of fun in this home, but you’ll also be able to get your fair share of work done. It all starts with the office, which was built with telecommuters in mind. Here, you’ll find yourself motivated by the beautiful view through the sliding glass doors. Sometimes, however, you need a break. That’s when you’ll go through those doors to take a brisk stroll through the backyard or the bordering woodland.

There are several other practical spaces which will help you streamline day to day chores so that you can spend more time enjoying your sumptuous home. The mudroom gives you a way to keep the kids from tracking mud into the house, plus plenty of storage space for outerwear. There is also an attached pantry, convenient to both the garage for unloading, and to the kitchen. The laundry area is placed near to the bedrooms so that you won’t have to waste too much time and energy on the weekly washing.

Contemporary

Our Contemporary House Plans collection presents modern homes designed around light and space: open, airy and with an abundance of windows in various modern styles, these homes are generously appointed to bring ample light indoors. 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.

Prairie

Our Prairie style houseplans feature a low pitched roof, usually hipped, with a wide overhang, and have boxed shapes with a horizontal emphasis. They typically feature clean lines with massive square porch supports, and casement windows in rows. Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionized the American home when he began to design "Prairie" style houses characterized by low, horizontal lines that were meant to blend with the flat landscape around them. Our collection of Prairie Style homes exemplifies the style-- mixing timeless architectural elements with modern convenience, resulting in a wonderful home built to withstand the ever-changing 'vogue' of modern styles.

Why you should buy your Mascord plan directly from us

We are the designers of every home displayed and available on this website. Though you may sometimes find our home plans advertised and for sale elsewhere both online and in print, it makes sense to purchase your plan directly. Place your order confidently knowing your home plans come from the original source, and that you have the support of the designer of your home.

As the original designer and copyright owner - we can beat any lower price you find a Mascord plan for sale - on any website authorized to sell our plans.

(The advertised plan must be the same as the plan being purchased, including product type - 5 Set, 8 Set, Hybrid, Reproducible, or CAD File, etc). Our standard price-beating guarantee refers to regularly listed prices, but if you find any coupon, special offer, bonus offer, freebies or rebate offered on a competing website, call us, tell us where it is, and we'll see if we can beat that too!

If you have questions about an element in the design, or your contractor has a question during construction - we are able to answer those questions for you quickly and accurately, without the need for you to go through a third party.

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.
