Modern Mountain Collection
Modern Mountain house plans blend contemporary architecture with rustic elements inspired by traditional Alpine chalets and Pacific Northwest lodges. These sophisticated designs feature dramatic rooflines with deep overhangs, expansive windows, and natural material palettes of stone, timber, and steel that honor mountain building traditions while embracing clean modern lines.
Emerging from mid-century modern influences and regional mountain architecture, these homes prioritize connection to the landscape through walls of glass, oversized decks, and outdoor living spaces. The style evolved from practical needs - steep roofs to shed snow, sturdy materials to weather harsh conditions, and open layouts to capture views - while incorporating modern sustainable building practices.
Typical floor plans emphasize great rooms with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows oriented toward mountain vistas. Open-concept living areas flow seamlessly into chef's kitchens and dining spaces perfect for entertaining. Primary suites often occupy private wings, while auxiliary bedrooms and flexible bonus rooms accommodate family and guests. Mudrooms, gear storage, and two or three car garages handle outdoor equipment.
Today's Modern Mountain homes integrate smart technology, energy-efficient systems, and luxury amenities like wine rooms, home offices, and spa-inspired bathrooms. Sustainable features including solar panels, thermal windows, and advanced insulation make these homes comfortable year-round while reducing environmental impact. Many plans include separate guest quarters or ADUs for rental potential.
The style appeals to outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers seeking a contemporary mountain retreat that balances rustic charm with modern convenience. Whether as a primary residence or vacation home, Modern Mountain designs offer sanctuary through their strong connection to the landscape, efficient use of space, and ability to accommodate both quiet moments and gracious entertaining.

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.
