Canadian home styles vary widely, and you’ll find plenty of familiar North American cottage, colonial, and farmhouse architecture represented. Of course, cutting-edge contemporary homes are also popular these days! Designed with Canada's diverse regions in mind, many Canadian house plans are made for natural plots of land and are suitable for living on a lake, mountain, or the plains. Most also feature 2x6 framing to provide the higher level of insulation northern locations require. As always, it’s a good idea to ask your local building department if your new home will have to exceed usual standards due to the area’s unique climate or geological conditions. If you intend to build your Canadian house plan in the Great White North, we're happy to provide blueprints with metric measurements for an additional fee.

A Canadian House Plan is a plan that was designed in Canada and meant for building in Canada, but can be modified to be built in the U.S.
Canadian house plans generally include metric dimensions and may be written in French instead of English.
Canadian House Plans typically include rustic exteriors that resemble log cabins by utilizing natural wood materials, as well as more current stylings that take the concept of a cozy cottage and incorporate clean lines and modern aesthetics.
