House Plans With Decks and Patios

Nothing says summer quite like lounging on your deck with family and friends, the sizzling grill cooking some tasty food while you soak up the sun. Yet with many house plans, this is not in the picture. Far too many house plans neglect the deck, leaving untapped potential in the backyard. With Donald A. Gardner Architects, you can enjoy your backyard to the fullest by searching specifically for house plans with decks/patios.

Why should you choose house plans with patio or deck designs included? No matter what house plan you choose, chances are good you are going to want a deck or patio at some point to help you enjoy and get more use out of your backyard. When you choose patio or deck house plans to serve as the foundation for your building goals, you can enjoy outdoor space that blends seamlessly with the design of your home. Many of the deck or patio home floor plans offered at Donald A. Gardner Architects have additional elements included like three-season rooms with summer kitchens, water features built into the patio, or design elements that make the deck an important architectural feature that enhances the enjoyment of outdoor living.

Consider, as an example, The Travis house plan. This spacious 2,863-square-foot home features a patio that connects seamlessly to a rear porch and side screened-in porch. This provides quite a bit of outdoor living space that feels as though it adds to the square footage of the property. If you are in the market for something a bit smaller, The Avant, measuring 1,833 square feet, is a great choice. This home features a patio connected to a porch, and the patio includes plans for a spa or hot tub. Both The Avant and The Travis clearly show how our designs work the patio or deck into the home's basic architectural structure.

Our goal at Donald A. Gardner Architects is to make finding your ideal house plan as simple as possible. If you are looking for deck or patio floor plans, use our advanced search to narrow your choices to only those homes that feature these elements.

Furthermore, we can take any of our existing home plans and add a deck or patio through the services of our modifications department. If you have fallen in love with a floor plan that lacks this outdoor living area, let us transform it into exactly what you want.
