They have excellent customer service, and a great selection of plans. **Comment from Architectural Designs:** > We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with our team. Thank you for sharing photos of your stunning build with us! **★★★★★ — Matthew Jackson, Oct. 2024** > I have been buying plans from architectural designs since 2014. What is great about buying from AD is working with their designers to make modifications. The process is easy and affordable. **★★★★★ — nlawson18, Oct. 2024** > The house plans were easy to follow and easy to modify to our liking. It was easy to find what we were looking for and very fast and efficient when we made a final decision. **Comment from Architectural Designs:** > Thank you so much for sharing photos of your home with us! We love how it turned out, and are so happy to hear your had a positive experience :) **★★★★★ — HU-565886055, Sept. 2024** > As a builder, I've used AD house plans on multiple projects and have always been impressed with their quality and attention to detail. The designs are clear, well-thought-out, and easy to follow, which helps streamline the building process. AD consistently delivers reliable plans that my clients love, making my job much easier. I highly recommend them to any builder looking for top-notch plans **★★★★★ — vgcanderson, July 2024** > Loved working with the staff at Architectural Designs. They make it easy to purchase the house plan perfect for you. We love our house. It is the perfect design and works great for us. **★★★★★ — Ziad Abou, June 2024** > Everything was easy from order to completion, the plan was perfect, nothing was missing. My contractor didn't have any issue building it. **Comment from Architectural Designs:** > We love how you took backyard office plan 62893DJ and turned into into a cozy poolhouse. Thanks for sharing it with us. > > PHOTO ALBUM > https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/modern-farmhouse-backyard-home-office-plan-62893dj/client\_photo\_albums/3364 **★★★★★ — fmbrb, June 2024** > We were very pleased with our purchase from Architectural Designs. My husband and I visited several websites looking for the perfect "forever" home. One of our favorite features on the Architectural Designs website was the client build section where we could view photos from similar builds and get some inspiration. > > We placed the order for our plans and received them electronically one day later. They were so easy to do business with. Communication was quick and friendly. > > Because of the elevation of our property, our builder recommended that we flip the plans so that we didn't need to bring in a lot of fill dirt. Architectural Designs offered a reverse floor plan, which we purchased and also included the optional basement and bonus room. Our builder only made small modifications to the plans to meet current code requirements. > > We love our new home and would recommend Architectural Designs to anyone looking for plans to build their dream home. **★★★★★ — nodregs, March 2024** > The plans worked out terrifically. Having a variety of plans to choose from worked great. We found what we wanted, but like anyone building a custom home, we want what we want. We handed off the plans to an architect to make a number of alterations that fit our desires. The architect made the changes by moving a wall, expanding a porch, other changes . . . . . Once we had the changes, we reshaped our world. > > It was definitely a more affordable approach to a custom home. One that you still have full control over. **Comment from Architectural Designs:** > We love how your build of House Plan 69677AM came out in Texas (photo album link here: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/handsome-craftsman-house-plan-69677am/client\_photo\_albums/3327). Thanks for sharing your home with us. > > Plan Specs Snapshot > 2,493 Sq Ft > 3 Beds, 2.5 Baths, 3 Cars **★★★★★ — Jennifer L, March 2024** > The company was very quick to respond to all of my questions, as well as keeping me informed on everything that I needed to know. I submitted a request for a modified plan, and A.D. got back with me very quickly with a response. They put me in touch with the plan creator, giving me contact details and everything. The creator stayed in touch with me through the entire modification process. Overall, the service provided was excellent, timely, and I would recommend this site to anyone looking for house building plans. Service was 10/10. **★★★★★ — Henry Jacobs, March 2024** > We have built several houses from AD plans and always had a great experience. We will continue to use AD plans. **★★★★★ — Deb & Steve W. - NC, Oct. 2023** > We purchased 2 different plans from AD while trying to decide about a new home. Both times the plans were promptly delivered, and we felt a fair price for the quality of the plans. > We built from the second purchase and modified the plans to suit our needs/desires. Feedback from the AD staff when we submitted photos of our build was most gracious and kind! Genuine people who seem to really love seeing their plans come to life for their clients. **★★★★★ — bllford46, Oct. 2023** > My wife and I purchased our property in September of 2021. After interviewing builders, we selected Mike Stevens Homes of Knoxville, Tn. After discussing options for our dream home, they suggested Architectural Designs for building plans. We entered our Architectural Board requirements as far as size of the home and then added our wish list for a Modern Farmhouse. We were presented with a number of options but house plan \#69715AM was everything and more we desired. We purchased the blueprints and license to build. We loved the entire plan but added two changes. A second fireplace on the back porch and turned the HVAC closet in the garage into a half bath. We wanted to remain true to the Designer/Architects vision and Mike Stevens Homes fulfilled our wishes. Since we are senior citizens we have our forever home, however would encourage anyone looking for plans, view this website rather than pay for an architect to draw up plans. **Comment from Architectural Designs:** > We love how your build of House Plan 69715AM came out with the help of your ideas and Mike Stevens Homes. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

A: Hi there! Unfortunately I don't believe it would be possible to reduce the width to that extent. I would recommend using the advanced search on our site to refine results based on plans that will fit in your desired width. We do also offer custom plans! **Q: how wide is this house?** *(in Photo Questions)* Trying to see if it would fit for our lot. A: Hi Jenna, that plan is 121'-4" wide and 78'-4" deep. You can see more specs here: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/high-end-drama-with-bonus-26600gg?preview=true **Q: Roofing Material** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello, beautiful home. Are these grey or black shingles? What kind of steel roof? A: Hi Kaitlyn - The shingle used on this build is a dark grey/asphalt color and the steel roof is Pro-Rib Premium in Charcoal Black. **Q: Where is the mechanical room located?** *(in Photo Questions)* I’ve looked of the plan but I’m not seeing it. A: Hi there! If a mechanical room is not listed on a plan, it would be site specific & you would work with your builder to determine the best placement. Typically this would be in the basement, attic space, or garage! **Q: What are the backsplash tiles used? :)** *(in Photo Questions)* I love them. Wondering where to source them. A: They are subway tiles with an off-white color. Unfortunately, we don't know the material specifics from this build. Our involvement was in the design of the plans themselves, not with the build directly. Connect with a local tile supplier, they should be able to help you get a close match to these tiles. **Q: What brand of board and batten is on this house?** *(in Photo Questions)* Teresa A: Hi Teresa - This is a cement fiberboard product from @jameshardiemarketing, using a combination of their Hardie Panel vertical siding as the base with Hardie Trim Boards batten boards over the seams. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
