The Merced is a project that comes to us out of our archives.  This 1,784 Square foot home with 3 bedrooms and two baths, has the traditional lines of its Texas neighborhood, infused with a contemporary stone and truss entry.  The wide open porches almost double the living space for entertaining and relaxing and offer great views of the prairie surrounding the original lot.  The screened in section extends its usability into the evenings.  Sometimes traditions are better left honored, and this home has done a good job doing just that.  The Owner’s Suite is located conveniently on the main level, with two additional bedrooms upstairs, and a large loft overlooking the Gathering Room, which could be turned into a great office space or play area.

We have construction drawings ready for purchase off the shelf, or we can work with you or your client to customize any of our homes.  Don’t forget to check out our other Plan of the Month homes

I just returned from a pleasant trip to the east coast to attend the Log & Timber Home Show in Chantilly, Virginia. We were invited to the show by Chad Clark of Handcrafted Log Homes and met a lot of great log and timber frame suppliers as well as individual clients. There was a lot of positive energy, and it seems that the worst is behind us economically.

The latest in the Gravitas Design Series: The Cache B

 The Cache B makes a cute little get away cabin or an efficient retirement home. This home has just the right amount of room in a compact design.  This is a modification of The Cache plan which didn’t have dormers or the upper bedroom, just an open loft but it did have a full daylight basement that added about 1200 SF. An example of how we work with clients through changes of existing plans to better suit their unique requremens and site conditions.  If you want to use this, or any of our plans free of copyright infringement, we have affordable and easy licensing options whether or not you use our full design services.

Many of you save out these floor plans for use with clients or they go in the “someday dream home” folder. Here is a link to our Gravitas Plan Book that we update about quarterly with the new “plan of the month” plans. Please honor copyright ownership and contact us about licensing and use if you move forward in design with another designer or if you want to discuss their use for marketing or on your website. This link is “live” so to get the most current plans you will want to download from the same link every 3-4 months.
