Pacific Northwest House Plans

Pacific Northwest house plans are often characterized by how well they work with their natural environment - either along the shorelines, climbing the hills, or nestled in the valleys. These homes take advantage of the varied landscape of Washington State, Oregon, and British Columbia. At the same time, the floor plans are often designed to maximize the capture of sunlight while also using overhangs to shelter from the rain.

Shingle style, Arts & Crafts, and Craftsman style homes have been especially popular. Victorians, bungalows, and ranch homes/ranchers are typical in more populated areas. More recently, modern house plan designs have gained wider popularity. More information about the Pacific Northwest's architecture can be found here.
