A Walk Through The Hood River
This home has ample personality, but it doesn’t hog up too much room – opening up potential lot options. Let’s take an imaginary walk-through of the Hood River so you can see whether these may be the right home plans for your family.
As we approach the façade of the Hood River, you’ll notice the Craftsman style details – from the five tapered square columns to the home’s exposed roof brackets. You’ll also see a generous dormer over the garage – what might the home plan’s designers have put up there? As you step under the covered entry, you’ll appreciate the wraparound patio, where you can imagine watching rainstorms as a family.
As we step into the foyer of the Hood River home plans, there is a half-bath on the right, along with a coat closet and the staircase to the upper floor. To the left, a set of double doors beckons you into the study, with its built-in storage and 9-foot ceilings. Continuing past the staircase (we’ll explore the second story of these home plans in a bit) you’ll find yourself in the great room, a sun-bathed space thanks to sliding doors on one side and three multi-paned windows onto the covered back patio on the other. Delighted to spy a built-in grill on the back patio, you’ll continue to follow the Hood River’s open floor plan to the right, walking through the dining room and into the kitchen.
That’s one improvement the Hood River home plans offer over the traditional Craftsman home plan: Whereas original Craftsman homes often had boxed-off rooms, the Hood River boasts plenty of open shared space. You’ll appreciate the kitchen island as a perfect place for informal meals, where you can imagine your kids gathering here for homework while Mom or Dad gets dinner ready. Walking through the kitchen, you’ll find yourself in a utility room with an exterior door as well as entry to the double-car garage, which has extra storage space in the back – plenty of room in here for your hobbies.
Next, we’ll head up the staircase, where you’ll notice four doors in a row on the left: a full bathroom, two smaller bedrooms and the double doors to the vaulted master suite. Natural light fills each of these rooms. A specific design choice will jump out at you in the shared bathroom: A divider blocks the view of the toilet and tub from the double sinks, lending privacy to whoever shares this bathroom.
The master suite occupies the entire back wall of the home. The master bedroom of these home plans leads into the bathroom, and then into a large walk-in closet with space set aside for a washer and dryer – how convenient! Satisfied with the size of the master closet, you’ll walk back into the master bath and admire the double sinks, built-in spa tub and separate walk-in shower. What a perfect place to unwind!
Walking back into the upstairs hallway, you’ll finally have the answer to quench your curiosity about what we would find above the garage. It’s a generous game room, complete with a built-in wet bar. Should this be your office, or the children’s play room? However you use this extra space, it will be sure to come in handy.
All in all, you’ll be able to envision your family living quite happily in a home built from these Craftsman home plans. If you love mixed materials, clean lines and efficient use of space, the Hood River home plans could be perfect for you.

Cottage
This home is typical of the cottage style. In modern usage, a cottage is usually a modest, often cozy dwelling, typically in a rural or semi-rural location. However there are cottage-style dwellings in cities, and in places such as Canada the term exists with no connotations of size at all (cf. vicarage or hermitage). In the United Kingdom the term cottage also tends to denote rural dwellings of traditional build, although it can also be applied to dwellings of modern construction which are designed to resemble traditional ones ("mock cottages").
Craftsman
The Mascord collection of craftsman house plans highlight features that were first introduced with the Arts and Crafts movement, which thrived from 1876-1915, and continues to be celebrated today. These homes have great curb appeal, lots of detail and the amenities you need for modern living. Check out the collection for more great home designs.

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.
