Homes with a Great View House Plans
Home sites with a great view demand a house plan design that both brings the beauty of the outdoors in and draws owners and guests outside to enjoy the scenery.
Elements of Homes with a Great View
- Large expansive windows.
- French doors and sun-rooms to let the view pour into the home.
- Dramatic outdoor space including porches, patios and decks.
Windows, and lots of them, are a hallmark of this eye-opening collection. From contemporary, A-frame and lodge style home plans that feature floor to ceiling walls of glass to more traditional chalet, cottage, and beach house designs that incorporate French doors and sun-rooms to let in the view, you'll find dozens of dazzling choices. Porches, patios and decks play a starring role too with floor plans that invite you out to enjoy sea breezes, mountain mornings, or the pastoral pleasures of the countryside. And because home sites with great views are often situated on challenging terrain, this stunning collection also offers a wide selection of plans specially created to hug hillsides, settle into sand dunes,and rise above riverbanks.

Homes with a Great View House Plan Features
Picture Windows
Picture windows are all about capturing the view through an expansive pane of glass. Sited properly, you can frame outdoor scenes that are literally pretty as a picture.
Double-Hung Windows
In double-hung windows, both the top and bottom sashes can open vertically (only the bottom sash opens in single-hung windows). Ventilation is controlled easily by opening the window a crack or all the way.
Casement Windows
Installed alone or in pairs, casement windows are hinged on the side. Because they open fully, they are great for ventilation and are easy to clean.
