European Collection
European house plans capture centuries of old-world architectural heritage while offering the modern amenities today's homeowners desire. These elegant designs draw inspiration from French country estates, English cottages, Italian villas, and Mediterranean homes that have graced the European landscape for generations.
Distinctive features like steep pitched roofs, decorative half-timbering, and masonry exteriors define the European home style. Arched windows and doorways, copper or wrought iron accents, and mixed materials including stone, brick, and stucco create the iconic facades these residences are known for. Thoughtfully placed dormers and multi-paned windows flood interiors with natural light while maintaining historical authenticity.
Inside, European floor plans typically feature formal and informal living spaces arranged around a grand foyer. Spacious great rooms with exposed beams, stone fireplaces, and French doors leading to outdoor living areas serve as welcoming gathering spaces. Gourmet kitchens often include islands, butler's pantries, and breakfast nooks bathed in morning light. First-floor primary suites, home offices, and guest rooms ensure convenience and privacy.
While embracing traditional architecture, modern European home designs incorporate contemporary must-haves like open-concept layouts, spa-like bathrooms, walk-in closets, and smart home technology. Energy-efficient features including superior insulation and high-performance windows honor both environmental consciousness and comfort. Three-car garages, mud rooms, and dedicated laundry spaces add practical functionality.
European house plans particularly appeal to homeowners who value architectural character, craftsmanship, and sophisticated living spaces. Whether nestled in a wooded lot or anchoring a manicured estate, these timeless designs create an instant sense of history and permanence. The versatile floor plans accommodate both intimate family life and gracious entertaining, while the enduring curb appeal makes a statement in any neighborhood.

Exterior Wall Construction Choices
Most of our stock plans come as 2x4 exterior wall construction by default. We do provide options to change the exterior wall type. Those options include 2x6 exterior walls, Post Frame Construction, CMU Block Construction, etc.
Foundation Types
When de signing our house plans, a default foundation is set for a given plan. If possible, we include options to change the foundation type to better match your construction needs. For instance, if the default foundation is an unfinished basement, you'll have the option to change the foundation type to a walkout foundation, crawlspace, or slab foundation.
Please note: Some of our plans are designed with special foundation needs, such as post and pier for waterfront properties. These plans may not allow an option to choose another foundation type. If you find yourself in need of an alternate foundation and aren't given the choice, please fill out the alteration request on the plan page.
Right Reading Reverse
One of our more popular options is reversing the plan. Ordering the reverse option will not only flip the plan on the sets for you, it will also correct the text to make the plan read correctly while reversed.
CAD Files
All of our plans are offered as digital PDF downloads. If you want to make changes to the plan yourself, there is an add-on option that will give you the CAD files. Our CAD files are exported in AutoCAD format. You must have software capable of opening CAD files to use them. This option is great if you are in the business of home building and need to make slight changes to the plans per lot.
