Plan Description


This home is featured in architect Sarah Susanka's The Not So Big House, and was designed originally to embody many of Sarah's "not so big" principles in a house that is "not too expensive" to build. **PRAIRIE INGENUITY** illustrates how a few simple design decisions can keep costs in check without sacrificing space and detailing. The form of the house is a simple rectangle with a bump-out at the stairway. Unlike a house with a more complex exterior, a rectangular form encloses significantly more interior space within significantly less exterior surface. Since the exterior envelope of a house is where the majority of the construction costs reside, this simple strategy helps get the most our of every dollar spent. Exterior trim and siding color changes help make the form more expressive, without adding unnecessarily to the cost of the structure. The interior of the home is rich with ceiling height variety, with long connecting views making it appear to be significantly larger than it actually is. A continuous trim band runs above all the doors and windows and weaves the home together, adding lots of character. For a family that wants the spatial variety of a Not So Big house without the hefty price tag, this house is an excellent choice.

Mirror Reversed Sets

$0.00
A mirror-reversed set is a printed copy of your house, resulting in the same image you would see if you held the drawing up to a mirror. Everything, including the text, is backward in relation to the original design. These kinds of drawing are typically used to reorient an original plan more advantageously on a site, either because the homeowner prefers it that way or because of limitations of the site itself. Note: Mirror reverse sets are only available with a 5 copy or 8 copy set. With a Reproducible, PDF, or CAD set, you can print mirrored copies locally. In addition: 5 Copy set selected, should only allow 4 mirrored sets to be selected. 8 Copy set selected, should only allow 7 mirrored sets to be selected.

*Options with a fee may take time to prepare. Please call to confirm.

Unless you buy an “unlimited” plan set or a multi-use license you may only build one home from a set of plans. Please call to verify if you intend to build more than once. Plan licenses are non-transferable and cannot be resold.

Sarah Susanka Architect - Houseplans.com
“'Not So Big®' puts the emphasis on quality rather than quantity and is designed to fit the way we really live today. It's a message that's being embraced now more than ever, and it's wonderful to see so many people come to the realization that a house doesn't have to be bigger to be better.” Award-winning architect and best selling author Sarah Susanka is the J K Rowling of home design. She has brought her practical, less-can-be-more brand of magic to the world of architectural home plans. A member of the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects and a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council, Sarah was born in Kent, England and lives in North Carolina. Hailed as an innovator by Fast Company, Newsweek, and US News and World Report, she received the Anne Morrow Lindbergh Award from the Lindbergh Foundation for outstanding individual achievement, and Builder Magazine honored Sarah as one of their 30 Top Innovators who have changed the face of residential construction. Sarah Susanka's influential books include The Not So Big House (Taunton, 1999), Home By Design (Taunton, 2004), The Not So Big Life: Making Room for What Really Matters (Random House, 2007), and Not So Big Remodeling (Taunton, 2009). She has lectured widely and appeared on numerous television and radio programs including Oprah, Charlie Rose, and Diane Rehm. She is showing a new generation of homeowners, builders, and developers how to "build better not bigger."
