"What distinguishes this new breed of plans is better architecture, greater historical authenticity, and an attention to detail more typical of custom homes."

Please be aware that the price of our GoodFit Collection home plans will increase on Feb 1, 2010.

a collection of cottage plans, cabin plans, small house plans, garages, live-aboves, toolsheds, and commons buildings

We're pleased to offer this collection of selected plans. Most of these homes have been built and fine-tuned with the help of craftsman builders — or as I sometimes say, they’ve had the benefit of a “full-scale mockup”.

A small cottage can be an ideal backyard writing studio, guesthouse or honored dwelling for an aging parent. Our larger houses (small by many standards) may fit the needs for a young family or retired couple, and may be complemented by one of our garages, live-aboves or toolsheds. Developers can take advantage of plans that "dovetail" to preserve privacy in a neighborhood setting. A commons building will offer the setting for shared use, or could be the perfect poolhouse. Whatever your needs, we hope you'll find a solution here. And if not, tell us what you're looking for — we're always interested in creating good homes that fit real needs.
