Truoba Mini 1021
About Truoba Mini 1021
This is one of the small house plans that was designed to serve as a vacation home or a guest house, making the most out of a small lot. The modern house character is expressed through a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces. This design has great flexibility options as room areas could be extended to have more space if necessary and exterior cladding can be chosen according to your own taste. The showcased exterior options are natural wood, vinyl, metal and shingle siding.
An airy kitchen and the great room were designed as one continuous space in an open floor plan. The main living area has a higher ceiling, giving the room a feeling of added spaciousness. The windows are positioned to capture the most beautiful views and bring continuing sunlight into the house. Both bedrooms are located separately to allow more privacy and comfort. The master suite also opens to the porch, where you can enjoy your morning coffee. The second bedroom can be used as a den, a home office or a hobby room, depending on your needs. A separate storage room located by the foyer, helps you live clutter-free in a smaller home.

- Reversed Plan +$150
- Plot Plan +$100 Some counties require a plot plan to obtain a building permit. The plot plan shows where the house will be located on the property so the builder knows where to pour foundations. Buyer must provide plot topography or boundary dimensions with stated setbacks.
Truoba's construction drawings must be reviewed by a local structural engineer because soil, snow, wind, and seismic load requirements vary by county. After review, Truoba updates the drawings for free and reissues the set, ready for your permit office.
