Affordable Modern Designer Home

[longlongtime]

Its worth noting that the additional price for making it alittle bigger isn't too bad. I'm currently building a home and decided to go bigger than my first thought because its not bad adding 20% to concrete, wood, ect. Plus the cost difference will be more than paid for by the difference in resale value.

Oh this place looks cozy, gives me all sorts of ideas. It would make a great core for a forever house on the right size of land.

If you make one bedroom an office and put a basement in for a personal space it would be awesome. Stairs where the utilities are going down. If you put planters on all 4 sides and create an earthship feel by "greenhousing" it in with glass? A nice cozy core with green things around it. I like the extended eaves too, but the sidewalk should be more of a geogrid gravel instead of the expensive and carbon intense concrete i on the lower traffic sides of the house. A neat place for the work at home type with a full basement providing customization opportunities.

The fireplace transferring to the center of the building to provide a media wall facing outward for guests, and a thermal mass for efficient home climate control. Moving the utilities down into a long span open floor structured basement would leave flexibility for customization for all walks of life too. From a basement workshop with exhaust out the chimney to more bedroom space if a family forms.

This same house is available as a house kit from Menards for $62k, which is my favorite one they offer. I wonder what the cost difference of buying the kit and pricing out the material.

This was really interesting! I love this kind of content.

What excellent video’s! Thank you so much for all the info.

One question, are those house plans online worth the money? I like your videos, cheers :)

Winner! 74$ is affordable (without quotation marks around affordable)

Well if you do not need, storage, washer/dryer, or a garage it's fine. Simply it is too small and would only be good for a minimalist lifestyle. The bedrooms are even tiny. I think you could get more out of steel building home or the like.

The total cost is north of $125 per sq ft...

How much would be the labor cost to build the house ? Looks like material cost is 75k and foundation is 10k . Not sure about labor .

[yanwain]

in my area, there is an 800sqft minimum. is it easy enough to upscale a design like this slightly to meet those specs or is it better to just pick a different design that is already the size you want?

[virginiamoss]

The roof overhang is so large that no rain can water the foundation plantings so you will have to irrigate all those beds.

Can the plan be modified? I would just like to have a half-bath. That would keep visitors from using my personal bathroom.

[gracesong]

Can you help me building like this house, Thank You Very Much

[RK-mend]

I’ve see this on architectural design, gorgeous home. But it’s going to be at least $100 sq/ft when you add in labor and land.

Would this home meet south Florida spec?

[madhavigunnala]

Where are located ?,
Do you help if any one wants to construct in Charlotte Nc ?

[Theamanhanda]

when you quote labor rates, what state or region are these rates from .

[nuffflavor]

With these homes, you can not have any extra stuff. I would say 70% of my neighbors keep their vehicles outside their home because their garage is packed with sheiot.

I would say only a handful of people could live in these homes with just the right amount of stuff to not to turn it into a storage unit. 😂😂😂

For a full-time home it is too small. It would be ok for a single or couple by rearranging the bathroom/closet into the area that is currently bedroom #1 and transforming it into a one bedroom.
