Cottage House Plans
First popularized by home pattern books like Cottage Residences by Andrew Jackson Downing of 1842, Cottage style house plans are filled with individuality. Their asymmetrical plans are based on the belief that "a beautiful house fully reflects a fine character." A cottage style home is typically a smaller design that evokes a picturesque storybook charm, often harking back to the Gothic Revival style of architecture. Cottage house plans are flexible and fanciful, often featuring vertical board and batten, shingle, or stucco walls, gable roofs, charming balconies, and expansive bay windows. Today a cottage style house plan describes a cozy one-story cabin or vacation home in the mountains or by a lake, as well as a compact woodsy two-story home in a leafy suburb. No matter what kind of cottage home plan you are looking for, you'll discover a wide range of house designs to choose from in this collection.
