About The House Plan
The Simple Craftsman is a modern take on a classic architectural style. Great for families with its 3 large bedrooms and 2 ½ baths, the Simple Craftsman combines space, comfort and curb appeal. Large covered entryways, exposed eave rafters and a dynamic foot print are some of the features of the Craftsman style. The Simple Craftsman captures these elements and also incorporates some modern upgrades such as a standing seam metal roof and fiber cement siding panels.

Floor Plan First Floor

The Simple Craftsman is a generously sized home with traditional amenities that still emphasize the open, integrated, and clutter-free spaces needed for modern life. The placement of the living room and master suite near the front entrance subtly separates them from the more busy rooms of the house such as the kitchen, dining area and rear patio. This division creates amazing flexibility that easy accommodates both casual parties with friends and formal holiday dinners.

Back of House

The back side of the Simple Craftsman has a large deck with contors as unique as the house it attaches to. This variation creates separate zones of use. The deck off the kitchen and dining area is great for outdoor entertaining. The deck off the mud room provides a convenient entry into the rear of the home. The covered patio off the living room is a private space that is great for sitting or reading.

Dining Room\Kitchen

The kitchen in the Simple Craftsman provides ample space for the whole family to cook dinner together or grab breakfast piecemeal during the busy morning. The kitchen island provides a social center point. The French doors let great natural lighting flood the room during the day, while the light cove above the cabinets provides ample light for evening. There is also ample pantry storage space built into the wall next to the island.

Energy Performance

FreeGreen selects materials and design details based on an iterative process using advanced energy modeling techniques. Our goal is not simply to maximize performance but rather maximize value through a careful consideration of cost vs. efficiency.
Free Green uses advanced energy simulation software to verify that the products and materials recommended are going to save you money. This image is a summary of that comparison, for this design, in a particular location. Since climate affects building and technology (e.g. solar) performance make sure you choose the city and state combinations closest to your building location when downloading our home plans. This way you will receive accurate energy performance data for your climate. If you are interested in living in a zero energy house we recommend that you consult with our staff of engineers and architects. The best way to do this is to go through our Customization Process. Going Zero energy is a great idea but one that requires careful calculations in order to keep costs as low as possible.
