What is the main advantage of a one-story home?

Minimal stairs! One-Story homes may feature a basement or optional upstairs bonus room, but the primary living spaces (kitchen, family room, primary bed and bath, etc.) all live on the main level. This can make aging in place (and daily life) easier and safer.

What is the main disadvantage of a one-story home?

One-story homes can sometimes be more expensive to build than two-story layouts, as they typically require more land to build on (and land is expensive), larger foundations, and more expansive roofs. Having said that, the cost to build a house depends on many different factors. To get a better idea of what a house plan will cost to build in your area, click the Get Cost-to-Build Report button on the product detail page of the plan you're interested in purchasing.

Who might enjoy a modern-style home?

Anyone seeking bold curb appeal, minimal ornamentation, outdoor living, and big windows, all of which are common characteristics of modern-style homes.

What if I want a modern interior design, but a traditional exterior?

We offer many house plans that blend modern and traditional elements. Examples of collections you should explore include: Modern Farmhouse Plans, Open-Concept Colonial House Plans, and Modern French Country House Plans.

Can I customize a one-story modern house plan?

Yes! All of our house plans can be customized. Just click the Modify This Plan button on the product detail page of the design you're interested in purchasing.

Who might not enjoy a one-story, modern-style home?

If you prefer traditional architecture, and/or you're planning to build in a neighborhood that embraces traditional-style homes, a modern-style house might not be for you. What's more, if you prefer having an upstairs primary suite (e.g. with a balcony and a great view of your surroundings), a one-story home is not going to suffice.
