Frequently Asked Questions
What is a one-story house plan?
A one-story house plan is one that has most, if not all, of its living areas at ground level. Some designs may include a bonus over the garage or have a finished basement, but the majority of one-story house plans spread all of their square footage across a single floor plan.
What are the advantages of a one-story house plan?
Accessibility is the main advantage of a one-story design. Whether you have young children or plan to age in place, removing the hazards of stairs is a major reason why many people select one-story homes. They are also easier to maintain over the years, as all of the exterior can be reached with a regular ladder for cleaning, removing leaves from gutters, etc.
Is a ranch the same as a one-story home?
Essentially, yes. All ranches are one-story homes, and almost all one-story homes can fit under the ranch category, too. A traditional ranch design has a very simple layout with living and sleeping zones, but with the rise of split bedrooms and more complex footprints, you'll find that today's ranches are very different from the past.
