Plan Description

The Rancho Mirage is one of six gorgeous little 400-square-foot houses in the California Collection created by The Homestead Partners. Each house has a full kitchen and bathroom, private bedroom with space for at least a queen-size bed, living/dining/kitchen that opens to an outdoor dining patio or terrace, and plenty of storage. Big enough to have a friend over. Just make sure you're in love with them first. There's no time for high design when you're building tanks to save the world from tyranny. Maybe that's why World War II killed off most of the streamline product aesthetic of the 1930s. But not all of it. In Palm Springs during the 1940s, Albert Frey turned streamline into brilliant desert houses for the rich. The style never mutated into the vernacular, so it still looks like a rich person's house no matter how small you make it. Ours is just right for one or two, rich or not, and a perfect example of the type, minus, of course, the Giacometti you wish you had for the patio. Interior Features 493 square feet Open living/dining room and full kitchen, with sliding doors opening to raised side and front patios and pool Two optional plans Open kitchen with raised eating counter peninsula Kitchen behind low built-in entertainment center; separate dining table Full bathroom Space for compact washer/dryer Bedroom sized for a king or queen bed, with built-in storage and closet, and sliding door to raised side patio Entry door opening to raised side patio Exterior Features 713 square feet Raised open-air front patio with adjacent pool Raised open-air side patio at entry Total Footprint 1,206 square feet

The Homestead Partners

House plans for small, big, colonial, modern, and everything in between. You may insist on having more than one. We're Ron Sakal and Sallie Hood (sakal-hood.com), a husband-and-wife team of architects who've spent decades creating workable townscapes, rescuing city centers from random development, designing beautiful houses, and teaching bright young architecture students how to do the same. Along the way, we've become experts on the styles of American houses, ideas, designs, and materials that transform small and affordable spaces into wonderful places to live. Now we're offering those great American styles to everyone who yearns for something more interesting and more connected to the American culture. Look around our collection of houses and see what moves you. After that, our firm is just like that home of yours: small and affordable.
