Choose a House Plan That Captures the View

The view is a major factor to consider when mulling lake house ideas. Hillside walkout designs are great for sloping lots and often will feature large windows are doors oriented to take advantage of a view. Typically these designs offer rear views, featuring windows — often with a sliding glass door for access to a porch or patio — at the rear of the home.

Extend Your Outdoor Living Space

Living near a lake means plenty of time outside, which means taking advantage of ample outdoor living space. Some of the best lake house ideas include a deck or patio, and visions of lounging around with the sound of water lapping at the shore all summer.

Another way to capture additional outdoor living space while also enjoying an aesthetically pleasing home design is with a wraparound porch. If the front or side of your home faces the lake, you can cozy up to a porch swing or chair and enjoy the view to your heart’s content.

      Hi Mark! Thank you for your interest in a Don Gardner house plan! Because we design stock house plans and are not involved in the building process, we are not able to design plans around existing structures. If you are wanting to incorporate a new plan with an existing garage, foundation, etc., you may want to use a local architect that can survey your property. I apologize if I am not understanding your message… feel free to reach out and we would be happy to discuss this more with you! 1-800-388-7580

    Have you ever designed a Craftsmen-style house for the beach? We have a lot on the beach in St. Augustine, Florida and are looking for house plans to build. This lot has a 35′ foot height building restriction but other homes nearby are 3 stories tall to maximize the view. The lot size is 75′ X 150′.

      Hi, Jack! We do have a small collection of coastal home plans that you can look through. Several of these are three stories and most are on a post/pier foundation. If you are looking for a particular aesthetic that you don’t see here, we can modify any design in our portfolio to meet your needs. It may be beneficial to call and speak with our customer service team for assistance with a house plan search. 1-800-388-7580. You can also email your criteria to [email protected].
