House PlansRecognizing the need today for moderately-sized houses, both for affordability and sustainability, James Hricko Architect is offering this portfolio of custom-designed house and carriage house plans for sale. The availability of these plans fills a large vacuum between those who hire an architect to design a custom house and those who settle for the generic stock plans available in magazines and on the Internet. The styles range from those inspired by the classic colonial saltbox to a modern vacation cottage.
Carriage House PlansHistorically, carriage houses were detached buildings on the grounds of the main house where horse-drawn carriages were stored. Today, the carriage house, or garage apartment, is still a detached building but with a two- or three-car garage on the ground level with an apartment or other use above. The upper level, when used as an apartment, usually consists of one or two bedrooms, bath, kitchen and a combined living/dining area. In addition to being a primary residence, these modest accommodations can also be used as guest quarters, living quarters for a nanny, a home office, workshop, studio or simply as additional storage space. Since the interior partitions are for the most part non-load-bearing, they can be easily rearranged to suit your needs.
The project involved architectural and structural restoration. Constructed in the late 1800s, it is the oldest African American church in Fairfax County. More than thirty local volunteers assisted with the restoration.
