Canadian home styles vary widely, and you’ll find plenty of familiar North American cottage, colonial, and farmhouse architecture represented. Of course, cutting-edge contemporary homes are also popular these days! Designed with Canada's diverse regions in mind, many Canadian house plans are made for natural plots of land and are suitable for living on a lake, mountain, or the plains. Most also feature 2x6 framing to provide the higher level of insulation northern locations require. As always, it’s a good idea to ask your local building department if your new home will have to exceed usual standards due to the area’s unique climate or geological conditions. If you intend to build your Canadian house plan in the Great White North, we're happy to provide blueprints with metric measurements for an additional fee.

A Canadian house plan is a plan that was designed and meant to be built in Canada, or one that can be suitable for Canadian conditions thanks to its design features. As requirements vary based on climate zones, make sure to look at the construction details of each plan. Modifications can ensure these house plans are suitable for construction anywhere in Canada, the U.S., or abroad!
Canadian house plans come in all shapes and styles, but they are optimized for conditions north of the border. They typically have sloped roofs to shed snow and 2x6 exterior wall construction, which offers more space for insulation than the standard 2x4 framing used in the United States. Many are specifically designed to take advantage of beautiful natural locations with large windows, too.
Canadian house plans come in all sorts of styles, from super rustic cabins that utilize natural materials to contemporary designs with sharp clean lines and tons of view-capturing glass. Details that optimize these diverse homes for Canada include 2x6 framing and pitched rooflines, but they don't really look any different from any house built in the U.S.!
