Outdoor Living House Plans

Q: What are outdoor living house plans?

Outdoor living house plans are designs that include outdoor living space in their floor plans. Things like covered porches, decks, lanais, and patios can greatly increase the functional space of a home without adding any interior square footage.

Q: What kind of outdoor living options are there for house plans?

House plans can include all sorts of outdoor living features. Farmhouses are known for the wraparound porches while Mediterranean homes have courtyards, for instance. Covered decks and patios can be found on all sorts of homes, so make sure to look at each design from all sides. You'll also find outdoor kitchens and fireplaces on many of today's house plans with outdoor living—these are ideal for those who like to host or just want to enjoy the fresh air from the comfort of home.

Q: What does an outdoor kitchen include?

The specifics of an outdoor kitchen vary. Some homes have room for just a barbeque grill and a countertop while others have full setups with a grill, refrigerator, sink, serving bar, and storage space. If you're interested in adding an outdoor kitchen to complete your outdoor living area, make sure to bring it up with your builder early!

It's no secret that spending time outdoors is beneficial and that nature is nourishing. Our outdoor house plans focus on maximizing your outdoor areas!
