Like our other Shed plans, it is cost-effective to build. It has two bedrooms on either side of a kitchen-dining-living area, and two bathrooms.

We also have a little brother to this design, The 25' Shed, and a larger version, The 64' Shed.

The Sheds are closed in using our suggested method (see "Our Enclosure Method" halfway down this page), and the insulation performance is well above code. The wall assembly performs at  Effective R23  - the National Building Code requires Effective R17 , or Nominal R24.

The roof assembly we recommend has been upgraded to 2 layers of 3.5” QuikTherm MPI. It is awaiting testing, but it replaces our previous 2 layers of 2.5” QuikTherm MPI that exceeded code by 25%.

Digital files to print out on 11"x17" (A3) paper.

The 25’ Shed has one bedroom and a bath, as well as a studio living area. See also our mid-sized 40' Shed, which is a 2-bedroom cottage, and the larger 64' Shed which would make a luxury cottage or a small home.

The 25 Shed has 500 sq. ft. of living space. Compared to a tiny home, it's spacious.

An outside stair leading to the second floor provides a second entrance, with a ladder stair between the two floors.

The Fish Shack could be an option for a tiny house, and would fit into the scenery as a seaside cottage. It could also be a small retail outlet, a cottage industry or an information center.

The Fish Shack is also available as Shop Prints, which are useful if you want to build it yourself.

]]> The Garage is very economical to build, but it looks classy. It’s a hybrid, with 2×6″ wall construction below and a timber framed apartment on the 2nd floor.

This design has lots of possibilities.

  • It could be a regular garage with a guest apartment upstairs, or provide extra income as a rental. For a rental it could have an outside stair with a deck.
  • Use it as a starter home. Later, one of the garages could be converted into a level-entry in-law suite or a rec room for a growing family.
  • Make it the first building on your cottage lot. It would provide lots of storage for SUVs, 4-wheelers, boat, kayaks, etc.

The upstairs apartment has a fully timbered roof with open timber valleys, tie beams, and rafters. There is a loft area over the bedrooms which is accessed by a pull-down stair in one of the bedrooms.

The elegant recessed entry between the garage doors allows you to stand at the door out of the weather.

Your Package Contains:

  • Working Prints
    Floor plans, foundation plan, roof plan, sections, elevations, window & door schedules and construction details.
  • Timber Frame Plans

Inspired by Vancouver's Laneway Houses, and named for the traditional mountain shelters of Scotland, the Bothy is the flagship of our Small Home designs.

The Bothy is designed for solar, and is well suited for "off grid" scenarios.

We wanted a small home design that was compact, but still contemporary and elegant.

With 509 sq. ft. of living space, plus 90 sq. ft. of storage, the Bothy still has plenty of room for solar batteries, hot water tank, and even a washer/dryer combination in its utility room. It also has its own storage area for recyclables.

]]> The Fundy – 994 sq. ft. https://www.timberframe-houseplans.com/houseplans/fundy/ Fri, 08 Jan 2016 00:53:01 +0000 https://www.timberframe-houseplans.com/?post_type=product&p=62 Timber frame house plan for a two-bedroom cottage or small home

994 sq. ft. of living area, plus storage.

Affordable, easy-to-heat living on one level. Ideal for a "slab on grade" foundation.

Optional walkout version adds another bedroom and a rec room in the basement.

The Fundy has vaulted ceilings in all but the utility areas, plenty of storage, and two bedrooms, all in just under 1000 square feet.

Large windows make the open concept living room / kitchen / dining area bright and airy.Note the dramatic timber dormer over the living room.

There are two bedrooms, each large enough for a queen size bed. Most of the ceiling in both bedrooms is vaulted.

There's a place for a woodstove in the centre of the house where it can heat the main living areas.

The second attic space, over the utility and bathroom, is quite long. This design has much more storage space than you would expect for under 1000 sq. ft.

This attractive and efficient timberframe would make an ideal vacation cottage, starter or retirement home.
