The Wren House is our first stock plan we designed! This 700 SF floor plan with a 1,000 SF wrap-around porch was designed to be the smallest home for a permaculture homestead. This plan has more porch than house! This comfy plan consists of 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and an open Living/Kitchen design. The 10ft high ceilings make this compact space feel extra roomy and enhances natural cooling. The wrap-around porch adds an additional living space which is adaptable and easily modified for future additions.

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.
