FreeGreen created the Basic Bar House Plan to be cool, highly functional designs that are truly affordable. We challenged our designers to find innovative ways to reduce cost while instilling useful features and amenities. The overarching strategy was to re-think the main factors in construction cost: labor, building size/square footage, and materials. The approach we used to reduce paid labor was to integrate Do It Yourself “DIY” projects into the designs. This is a great way for the home owner to reduce costs while instilling their own sense of style into the home. The strategy towards reducing square footage resided in reevaluating certain domestic conventions. For example, you won’t see a formal dining room in the Basic Bar plan, rather an eat-in-kitchen serves to meet the homeowner’s daily dining needs. In approaching material cost reduction, the Basic Bar features open floor plans and simple forms that translate into a home that is economical to build. We know every likes lots and light a
We started with a simple one story box and a generous living area that flows into the kitchen. Simple forms mean fewer corners allowing for cost efficient framing and minimal construction waste. An awning over the front door distinguishes the main entrance and can provide visual contrast if desired. The foundation of this design can be easily adapted to fit both sloped and flat sites. An entire wall of windows captures the views and brings them deep into the main living space. An excessive use of windows is one of the reasons modern design has been thought of as more expensive than traditional homes. High performance glazing is significantly more costly than walls and provides only a fraction of the insulation properties. This designs uses windows to maximize the views in the main living space while keeping the overall usage of windows in a budget responsible manner.
A covered deck used in combination with a bi-folding glass door creates a dramatic extension to the living space. This feature will allow the living space to be open to the outdoors as well as allowing outdoor entertaining in easy proximity to the kitchen.
The budget version of the view box product line is slightly smaller and has fewer windows than the basic versions.
The Modern Cube house plan is named after its cube like shape that provides cost effective square footage through efficient framing. The vertical nature of this house plan makes its ideal for sloped or narrow sites. An optional roof deck is a great place for to experience views and the outdoors out of site from ground level. This version come with a full three bedrooms meant to suit a small to medium sized family. This house plans modern appeal, and narrow dimensions make this a great option for infill or urban lot types.
