Rene House 2.0 is an efficient, modern floor plan, designed for a passive solar orientation. The main living space and kitchen have ample glazing for views and natural light. The small space feels large with the 2 story volume, and little nooks and built in office spaces make this design extra efficient! The upper floor can be used as an open loft or enclosed as a bedroom. This design is equipped with ADA compliant ramps, rooms and showers; suitable for retirement and aging-in-place (can be eliminated). This resilient plan features an elevated design with ground level functional space and wrap-around porch that adds additional outdoor and screened-in living spaces year-round.

1. Viewing Set: 11”x17” PDF of the basic Floor Plan, Roof Plan and (4) Exterior Elevations. It is an informative set to discuss with your builder, your building department, and your financial institution. The file will be emailed to you in 1-2 business days.

2. Bidding Set: 24”x36” PDF of the full set, which can be used for exact pricing estimates with builders and for further discussions with your local building department. The bidding set will have our watermark, and labeled “Not for Construction”. A contract agreement will be emailed to you in 1-2 business days prior to the plans.

Once you are ready to build, you will need to purchase a “License to Build”: This is a license agreement between you and Root Down House Plan Co. to build this design only one time. Once the agreement is signed, we will remove our watermarks and “not for construction” label from your Bidding Set so that you can work with your local builder and building department for permitting. The file will be emailed to you within 2-7 business days after the agreement is signed. This license entitles you to build the proposed design (1) time.

NOTE: The Bidding Set must be purchased before or at the same time as the License to Build.
