Why to Consider a T-Shaped Layout

A unique category that can span all sizes and architectural styles, T-shaped house plans stand out with the shape of their footprints and what that means for interior spaces. This layout naturally supports separate living and sleeping zones—with common areas typically in the base of the T and bedrooms in the cross—and offers the chance to create some truly breathtaking rooms. Why? Because those exterior walls are typically outfitted with plenty of windows, enveloping the interior in natural light. Come find the T-shaped design that'll wow your clients!
A Country Ranch with Dramatic Living Space

House Plan 10109 is a modestly sized home at 1,500 square feet, but it definitely makes an impression with its grand great room. It features a totally open design with the kitchen anchoring the room at the end, a stylish linear fireplace across the space, a cathedral ceiling above, and three walls of windows/patio doors. Make sure to look at the left side to see the view potential from the kitchen! Three bedrooms and two bathrooms complete this home, with the vaulted primary suite with a four-piece bath and the utility room in one hallway off the great room and two bedrooms that share a hall bath in the other.
A Spacious Two-Story Split-Bed with Volume

House Plan 11142 makes a wonderful choice for growing families thanks to its 2,587-square-foot layout with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. The great room wows with a two-story cathedral ceiling over the living and dining areas, complete with a cozy fireplace flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows! The L-shaped island kitchen has clear sightlines of the space and connects to the hallway where you'll find access to the two-car garage in front, the five-piece primary suite in back, and the utility and powder rooms in the middle. Head upstairs and there's a loft overlooking the great room, a sizable media room, and three bedrooms including a private suite and two that share a Jack-and-Jill bath.
