Log Cabin Homes

Log Cabin Homes are generally sought after for their rustic appeal. The raw material blends in with nature’s landscape and gives a feeling of being one with your surroundings. The great outdoors are the main inspiration for the overall design of log home plans.

To truly capture the connection between nature and your log home, the home plan you choose will need a few key features.

A Log Home Floor Plan may have what you need to create your natural environment.

Home Plan Designers follow these guideline:

Key 1: Blendation
Your land is a valuable asset and should be enjoyed by your family and friends. To take full advantage of your very own outdoor home, create a blendation between your house and your lot. A covered wrap-around porch is a great example of this. Patios are great as well, and plenty of windows help.

Key 2: Lighting
The sun is the most abundant resource we have, and the best way to light up your home. Take advantage of this resource with large windows. Wrap-around porches are nice, still they create shade. Place windows above these porches to distribute and light up your house. Dormers are great for this. Skylights are also a great feature to include whenever convenient.

Key 3: Floor Plan Openness
A tight floor plan makes you feel like you are a bird in a cage inside without an escape. An open area lets you be indoors without this feeling of being closed in. High ceilings help accomplish this open effect. Make your kitchen a centerpiece with a beautiful open home plan design and plenty of storage space. The open home plan lets people be together, improves air circulation, and creates a friendly atmosphere.

Key 4: Enjoyment
Log house plans and cabins should be large enough for enjoyment. Open plans should allow a social ambiance that extends beyond the walls to the outdoors and the exterior porches and patios of the home. An upper loft can make room for an escape, and a good place to read a book in comfortable relaxing environment.

Log home plans should provide a unique integration with nature.

Examples:
Covered wrap-around porch
Patios
Plenty of windows
Windows above porches
Skylights
Open rooms
Raw material blends: Logs, stonework, Rustic Fireplaces...
