A Walk Through The Modern Ranch

The Modern Ranch is one of our best-selling ranch house plans. This single-story beauty has dozens of thoughtful, contemporary design touches. Its up-to-date open floor plan includes a beautiful shared space with a rear-facing great room, open to the kitchen and dining area. A covered patio in the rear allows for elegant indoor/outdoor living. This is the perfect floor plan for empty nesters and age-in-place enthusiasts, as everything is contained on one level – yet it’s also large enough for a family, with the option of three bedrooms. (The third bedroom can also serve as an office.) Let’s take a tour of these ranch style house plans.

The façade of the Modern Ranch is clean and elegant. To the right: a two-car garage. The covered entry in the middle boasts 11-foot ceilings and a built-in recycling center as well as a coat closet. The lines of sight in this design are ingenious; upon entering the home, the sight of the great room, with its wall of windows, beckons you forward.

Should you wind to the left, you’ll discover the L-shaped kitchen with a central island; cooks will feel like part of the action here, as the kitchen is open to the great room. Same goes for the dining room – no wall divides it from the rest of the shared space, making for easy entertaining. A covered patio is located next to the dining room, and the office (or third bedroom) is next to that as you work your way around to the left.

The two other bedrooms in this ranch design are placed to maximize privacy. The smaller bedroom has its own hallway and bathroom, just off the entryway to the right. The master suite is tucked into the rear right corner of the home and features 9-foot ceilings and corner windows. The master bath has two sinks, a spacious shower and a walk-in closet. Another small hallway connects the master suite to the shared area, directly across from the kitchen. A pantry and linen closet are situated in this hallway to maximize storage and reduce clutter.

All in all, this intelligently designed ranch style home plan packs a plethora of convenient features into a charming, accessible package. As we finish our imaginative tour of the Modern Ranch, take a moment to imagine your family enjoying this home throughout the seasons. Summertime barbecues would be easy with the covered porch, and even nasty winter weather wouldn’t be unwelcome with a fire crackling in the great room’s fireplace. If you’re looking for a single-level home that’s easy to heat and comfortable to live in, the Modern Ranch could be your dream home.

Modern

"Modern" describes a fairly wide scope of homes designed in the current age. This somewhat ambiguous term could include homes people describe as contemporary with flat or shed roofs or comprised of simple geometric massing elements, as well as revivalist styles such as modern prairie. View more plans of this style in our Modern House Plans collection

Modern Prairie

Modern Prairie homes are characterized by their horizontal lines, low-pitched roofs, and integration with the surrounding landscape. They often have wide, overhanging eaves, and may incorporate elements such as cantilevered balconies and large windows to bring in natural light. In modern versions of the style, materials such as glass, steel, and concrete may be used alongside traditional wood and brick. Modern prairie style homes often emphasize open, flowing floor plans and a connection to nature.

Ranch

Our Ranch style house plan collection comprises single level homes with elongated elevations that suit placement on acreage or suburban lots, and the easy living open floorplans are ideal for families with both young and aging family members. The homes you'll see in this collection typically have a rectangular or L-shaped footprint, and low-pitched roof. They are ideal for placement of photovoltaics!  Take a look and tell us what you think.

Transitional

Transitional plans are a blending of two or more styles and are hard to classify. Typically Alan Mascord Design Associates would define them as contemporary or ranch open floor plans transitioning to traditional with exterior details. Usually these homes have a brick trim, multi-paned windows, or arched windows.

Will This Design Work For Your Location?

The base code requires that the design of your structure meet certain requirements. The code allows for a couple of ways to meet these requirements. The first method is known as "prescriptive" wall bracing, and is built into the code as prescribed building elements that must be included at specified positions of the building. Prescriptive methods are acceptable as long as the structure's design fits within certain limitations (wall height, window size/location, etc.). The second method is to demonstrate, by engineering analysis, the forces imposed upon the structure, and the design of structural elements to withstand those forces. Whereas the prescriptive method imposes certain limitations on the design of the structure, the engineering analysis of the building allows for greater flexibility in the design, while ensuring it can withstand the actual natural forces the structure will experience.

In almost all cases, Mascord designs will require site specific engineering analysis. This analysis is required to be conducted by a professional, such as a structural engineer, who is licensed by the state in which the structure will be built. The analysis is specific to the exact building site - for this reason, we do not have "pre-engineered" plans that can be built anywhere. An engineer will need to review the plans and provide an engineering analysis report and additional drawings and specifications to go along with your plans for permit submittal. You should allow for additional time and expense to complete this process.

Some regions have additional engineering requirements, such as earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Northwest, or the Gulf, Florida, & Carolina coasts that are frequented by hurricanes. Additional Wind and Seismic engineering drawings are required to accompany your home plans to obtain a building permit in most areas. These additional drawings need to be provided and stamped by a professional licensed in your state. In most cases we have working relationships established with engineers who can help you obtain the necessary drawings cost effectively, or you are welcome to source your own local engineer.

When the design includes retaining walls, these will also require engineering. Although the code provides for some prescriptive basement and concrete/masonry wall designs, these only work in limited situations. The use of site-engineered retaining walls allows for much greater design flexibility and ensures that the walls are designed specifically for the design loads, unique soils, fluid pressures, and drainage characteristics at the building site. It makes little sense to place the most expensive investment a family typically makes onto a foundation that is not designed for the unique characteristics of the land on which it is set.

All Mascord house plans are designed and detailed to conform to The International Residential Code (for orders out of state), or Oregon and Washington local state codes (for orders in those states).

Your area may have also have specific energy codes that have to be followed. Compliance could include filling out forms providing evidence that your construction drawings meet requirements. In many cases the forms are simple and can be filled out by yourself, or with the aid of your General Contractor.

To find out exactly what drawing details you should expect with your Mascord house plans, see "What's included in a Plan Set?"

If you aren’t sure what may be required, contact your building department and ask for a list of all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.

We typically calculate and provide sizing of beams for a snowload of 25 psf. You may need beams sized to accommodate larger roof loads specific to your region. We are able to help with this; please speak with our sales staff to discuss your options.

Building jurisdictions in several states - including California, New York, New Jersey, Nevada and Illinois - require that your home design is reviewed and your entire set of construction drawings is stamped by a local professional. If you are building in such an area, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your local building department.

In addition to the construction drawings, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on your chosen property, along with any grading and water management / septic system requirements.

Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our design information, we reserve the right to make corrections on our floor plans or elevations as needed.
