Angled Floor Plans
House plans that utilize angular shapes ensure that a home will stand out from the rest. Floor plans with unique angles add architectural interest and have an elegant feel without sacrificing an open floor plan. These home plans include plans with courtyards for outdoor leisure, house plans with courtyard garages, and many floorplans with angled exteriors which create interesting spaces in the rear of the home. Angled rear exterior spaces create exceptional outdoor living areas, many of which are under roof.

House Plans with Wraparound Porches
Nothing emphasizes the country, farmhouse or Victorian house plan with more grace than a wraparound porch. As outdoor living spaces become more important to today's homeowners, a house plan with a timeless wraparound porch increases the value and curb appeal of the home with ease. No country or farmhouse home plan is complete without an expansive porch to relax and welcome guests.

House Plans with Curved Spaces
Home plans that literally think outside the box by trading flat, straight walls and ceilings for curved or circular ones generate interest and give a rich feeling to any size or style of home design. Whether the floor plan incorporates a round room – such as a completely circular study – or simply features a wall of curved windows designed to collect expansive views, curved lines add value and a feeling of prestige to your home.
