COOL Plan Description
Mid-Century Retro Contemporary House Plan 10394 with 1,778 Sq Ft, 3 Bedrooms, Prow Windows and 2-Car Garage
Retro Contemporary House Plan 10394 is a far-out architectural classic from the legendary Garlinghouse Collection. Offering 1,778 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a spacious 2-car garage, this distinctive design celebrates the bold imagination of American retro residential architecture. Dramatic shed rooflines, angled walls, soaring two-story ceilings, and a spectacular prow window wall create a home with unforgettable character and a remarkable connection to the outdoors.
Forget ordinary rooflines and predictable architecture. This classic contemporary design features striking geometric forms, an asymmetrical shed roof, and streamlined exterior styling that captures the adventurous spirit of mid-century home design. Large windows and a distinctive prow-shaped window wall invite the surrounding scenery indoors, making this an especially attractive choice for a wooded lot, mountain setting, or property with a beautiful view.
The air-locked entry introduces visitors to an extraordinary interior. Step into the casual living room and discover ceilings that rise an impressive two stories, creating a dramatic feeling of openness. Expansive windows flood the gathering area with daylight, while the angular architecture gives the room a personality that conventional house designs simply cannot match.
The kitchen continues the retro contemporary experience with sloped ceilings and skylights that bring natural light into the heart of the home. Its convenient connection to the dining room makes family meals and entertaining comfortable. These distinctive architectural details create a bright, inviting setting while preserving the home's original modernist character.
Two main-floor bedrooms share a full bathroom, providing comfortable accommodations for children, visiting friends, or family members. Their convenient location separates these sleeping spaces from the private upper-level suite, creating a practical arrangement within this imaginative three-bedroom home.
The primary suite commands the entire second level, offering a spectacular private retreat above the main living spaces. From its elevated position, homeowners can appreciate the dramatic two-story interior and the home's extraordinary architectural volume. It's a choice feature that makes this classic design feel larger and more dramatic than its 1,778 square feet might suggest.
Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a rear patio and deck providing comfortable places to relax, entertain, and appreciate the surrounding landscape. The spacious 2-car garage adds practical parking and storage. Combined with the home's expansive windows, these features make Plan 10394 particularly appealing for scenic properties.
With more than a century of American home design heritage behind the Garlinghouse Collection, this retro contemporary classic offers an authentic connection to an exciting era of residential architecture. A Construction Material List is available as an upgrade for construction planning. For anyone who loves dramatic geometry, big windows, and timeless retro personality, Plan 10394 is one boss piece of American architectural history.
