Southern Cottages

Your Home for Unique House Plans

At Southern Cottages, we offer distinctive house plans to make your dreams come true. From the playful, coastal cottage getaway we call the Island Cottage to the stately Grand Gazebo Cottage and everything in between, we know you will find your perfect house plan.

House Plans with Coastal Charm and Southern Spirit

We have house plans with special features such as columned front porches, roof decks, windowed cupolas, dormers, wrap-around porches, and cascading sheltering roofs. All are brought together in contemporary design adaptations of coastal architecture and Southern vernacular styles.

We offer small cottage house plans from less than 1,500 square feet to larger Southern mansions of over 4,200 square feet. Our designs cater to a variety of needs, including “rooms with a view” to take advantage of water views, coastal or mountain vistas, low country, or other special vantage points available on your property.

House Plans for Every Terrain

Our portfolio includes house plans on pilings for beach or lake environments, house plans with basements for inland properties, and house plans suited for hillside usage. We also offer farmhouse and country house plans, inverted floorplans with elevators, garage apartments, and RV garage/dwellings among other innovative designs.

At Southern Cottages, our designs embody desirable features of shingle style, plantation style, contemporary, bungalow, and craftsman architecture. Our goal is to provide practical, professionally designed house plans to capture the spirit of casual living and enable you to find the joy of living in a home with unique architectural character.

Client Testimonials

I looked at over 10,000 plans over the course of 5 years. My wife and I could never agree on a plan until we both looked at your plan and said, “that’s it!” in unison.
Hurricane Ike beat up all the homes near our Island Cottage and yet she stood totally unharmed! Proving this house was well-designed! So, when it came time to build again, I could not even consider anyone else’s plans.
We want to thank you for having had the privilege of enjoying your architectural skills.
