A Walk Through The Octavia
The Octavia is the perfect mixture of contemporary and European styles. Outside, the stonework, rounded pillars and gracefully arching entryway speak of classical Italian influences, while the numerous windows, gables and gently sloping roofline indicate more traditional and contemporary themes.
Inside, the Octavia features a practical, efficient design that truly makes the most of its space. With interior and exterior living spaces that flow seamlessly together, this home was made for entertaining. The two-story foyer opens into a large great room with a built-in media center. The great room transitions into a kitchen and dining area with a large, curved island, loads of counter space and a built-in hutch.
The main living space overlooks a large covered porch that features an outdoor kitchen with a barbeque, sink and counter space. Windows throughout the rear of the great room and dining area provide you an excellent view of both the outdoor living space and the surrounding scenery.
To the left of the living area, you’ll find an amazing master bedroom. Glass doors allow for plenty of sunlight as well as easy access to the bedroom’s own patio. The master bath features a corner tub, a large shower and his-and-her sinks. To the rear of the master bath, you’ll find an enormous walk-in closet complete with cabinets for shoes, jewelry and more.
Whether the Octavia is your primary residence or a vacation home, you’ll love hosting parties and events in this home’s second story. As your guests make their way upstairs, they’ll be greeted by a large recreational area with a media center and full wet bar. Just off the recreational area, there is a smaller alcove that is perfect for more intimate gatherings. The recreational area also opens onto a large second story balcony where you’ll enjoy many evenings under the stars.
With three second story bedrooms and matching bathrooms, the Octavia offers you many possibilities. It’s perfect for busy families or couples who enjoy vacationing with friends. You can also convert bedrooms into office space, a home gym or anything else you desire.
Created for the 2015 Portland Street of Dreams, the Octavia is the 34th Mascord home plan to win a spot in this luxury home showcase. Construction is underway thanks to BC Custom Construction. The Octavia is their 10 home in the Street of Dreams show.
Designers Insight
This home plan originated from a custom home designed for an 'empty-nester' couple who enjoy to entertain. The home is designed to fit tight suburban lots and the original custom home had a great view to the rear but the limited width and the depth usually associated with city lots. The desire to have a side loading garage quickly dictated the location of spaces. Along with several room placement decisions, the location of the stairs was a tricky design element that could have multiple solutions. Since the size of the Porch was important to the homeowners, we opted to put the stairs to the side in order to get a larger Porch given the limited space.
The upper floor works well for maximizing the view in the informal entertaining areas, and the location of the stairs makes it a quick trip up to the roof deck (Balcony) with it's fantastic view. To maximize the space upstairs we opted to keep the Rec. Room open, which minimizes the space allocated to hallways.

Coastal
This Coastal Style home is a magnificent celebration of simple shoreside life. Our Coastal House Plans are homes we've selected that work in a beach environment from New England fishing village to Florida and Californian coasts.
European
Some of the features of this home are 'European'. European homes come in many guises, since the term reflects homes styled after those in many countries; English Tudor, French Country, and Dutch Gable, to name a few. Beyond the country of origin, there's also the period of history from which the style emerged; Georgian, Victorian, Greek Revival; the list is almost endless. The homes shown in the collection below feature elements inspired by those found in countries across the Atlantic.
Traditional
Traditional homes freely borrow from a number of historic styles and combine them to relay a new expression. Many historic styles are also 'traditional' in nature, and are incorporated into the Mascord Collection. Colonial, Tudor, Craftsman, Cape Cod - in this collection of home plans you'll discover floor plans that reflect modern lifestyles with spacious rooms, flexible spaces and modern conveniences, but mixed with distinct architectural flair, curb appeal and modern aesthetic. Expect elements such as free-flowing kitchens, breakfast nooks, and family room combinations.

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.
