From the outside, the Robertson is all modern — Contemporary, to be precise, with elements of the beautiful Prairie style. Inside, you’ll find modern amenities combined with traditional spaces to give you and your family everything you could need.
This home’s den, for instance, is a great place to relax and enjoy the quiet. Built-in shelving holds your favorite books, tempting you to settle in for a few hours so that you can read in peace.
Similarly, the garage features a shop area so that you have a great space to work on hobbies. Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of taking up woodworking or a similar activity. This home gives you the opportunity to go for it.
When it comes to day-to-day chores, the handy space just off the dining area, which contains the pantry and laundry room, will help to streamline your routine. The pantry keeps bulky kitchen gadgets, dry good and cleaning supplies within easy reach of the kitchen, while the laundry room gives you an out of the way place to sort, wash and fold laundry.
Then there is the open living space. At Thanksgiving, you’ll gather your family here to enjoy the food and festive atmosphere. An L-shaped counter and island gives you all of the space you need to pile up dishes as you bake pies, cook the turkey and prepare all of the sides. Then, you’ll enjoy the feast with your family in the dining area, all the while admiring the woodsy landscape of your backyard.
Before too long, everyone will be absolutely stuffed and the dishes will be cleared. Now it’s time to settle into the great room, wrapped up in blankets, enjoying the warmth of the fire as you and your kids watch TV.
After a long day of celebration, you will be looking forward to the comforts of the master suite. Take a quick shower before bed or have a warm bath. Then settle in for the night and drift off to sleep as you watch the stars sparkling in the sky.
If you hosted guests, you can give them a place to stay in the Robertson’s bonus room, which can easily be turned into a guest bedroom. Additionally, there are two other bedrooms for your children, one with a walk-in closet and shelving, the other with a closet behind sliding doors. These rooms are the places that your children will spend lazy summer afternoons, playing with toys. One day, when they are older, they’ll have fond memories of the games they played and the sleepovers they had in these bedrooms.

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.
Modern Prairie
Modern Prairie homes are characterized by their horizontal lines, low-pitched roofs, and integration with the surrounding landscape. They often have wide, overhanging eaves, and may incorporate elements such as cantilevered balconies and large windows to bring in natural light. In modern versions of the style, materials such as glass, steel, and concrete may be used alongside traditional wood and brick. Modern prairie style homes often emphasize open, flowing floor plans and a connection to nature.

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.
