A Walk Through The Albright
Few homes make a larger first impression than the Albright. At a glance, the sharp angles and sloping lines make you think of a rustic, rocky outcropping. However, the more you look at this home, the more you realize that it’s all modern in design. This Contemporary home’s exterior is full of interesting contrasts – vertical lines mixing with horizontal and bright whites setting off darker charcoal tones.
This home revolves around the massive great room. Imagine sitting before this room’s warm fireplace, wrapped in a comfortable blanket, watching through the wide walls of windows as snow swirls to the ground. In warmer seasons, sliding glass doors give you direct access to the delights awaiting outside – blooming springtime flowers, fresh summer vegetables or colorful autumn leaves.
The great room transitions into a beautiful kitchen and dining area where you will spend many enjoyable meals with your family. With walls on all three sides, the dining nook gives you an idyllic view. Plant a butterfly garden outside these windows or simply enjoy the wildlife that come to play in your landscape.
Moving into the kitchen, you’ll see that the island is positioned so that you can enjoy the view through the dining area as you work. Between the island and the counter space, you have enough room to prepare even the largest holiday meals – and you’ll have a centrally located sink, dishwasher and trash compactor to make cleanup a breeze. Plus, the extra-large pantry allows you to keep more of the items you need in stock, giving you more time at home and less time shopping.
Within the master suite, the Albright offers you a sense of privacy and openness all at once. This area is removed from the rest of the home, but it also features several enormous windows. Through those windows, you’ll spend many evenings gazing at the stars, and your mornings will be filled with sunshine and a perfect view of the trees and flowers outside.
The more you explore this home, the more you’ll see that it’s all about streamlining your life. For instance, in the laundry room, you’ll find the tools you need to keep day-to-day chores to a minimum while staying organized. The large wrap-around counter gives you an ideal place to sort and fold laundry as it accumulates rather than spending your evenings or weekends tackling a mountain of dirty clothes. The closets in this area put cleaning supplies at your fingertips.
The theme of seamless efficiency continues throughout the Albright’s upper story. Once you top the stairs, you’ll find a convenient counter where you can place laundry baskets or whatever else you’ve brought with you. Each bedroom has its own closet along with built-in cabinets, giving the kids plenty of room to put their toys away. Children will also enjoy the bedrooms’ corner windows. The bird’s-eye-view of the great outdoors makes each room feel a little like a treehouse.

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. Before you make your purchase, simply give us a call, direct us to the site you have seen the lower advertised price, and we'll not only match that price - we'll also give you a further 5% discount and extra special customer care :-). (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.
