About The Ozark Gable

The Ozark Gable proves a home doesn't need to be big to feel special. Cream siding, a silver metal roof and a porch swing out front; inside, a vaulted pine ceiling and a little wood stove make the living room cozy all year. Three bedrooms fit in a compact, simple footprint.

Living in The Ozark Gable

Who it suits

The Ozark Gable suits a first home or a downsize, and anyone who likes a plain, compact plan. It is one rectangle under one gable roof, with no wings or jogs. Each bedroom opens off the great room, so there is no hall.

Room by room

Front door: the 3 ft entry leads into the great room, one open room for kitchen, dining and living, with the wood stove flue rising from it.
Primary suite: opens off the great room, with a bath and a walk-in closet; windows face the front and the left end.
Bedrooms: Bedroom 2, Bath 2 and Bedroom 3 all open off the great room.
Laundry: a laundry room, 5 ft 6 in by 7 ft 6 in, opens off the great room too.
Back door: a 6 ft glass door leads toward the rear deck, 16 x 8 ft and open to the sky.

Build notes

A single 7:12 gable roof covers the house, with its eave at 10 ft 6 in and its ridge at 19 ft 10 in, parallel to the front wall.
The 48 ft front porch is 8 ft deep. Its 3:12 shed roof stands on 6 posts, and the rear deck has no roof.
The stove flue is 8 in wide and leaves the front roof slope 5 ft from the ridge.
The plan is drawn for wood framing. A steel or post-frame version is for your builder or engineer to adapt.

The exterior and interior images are concept renderings of this design, not photographs of a built home. Finishes and fixtures are illustrative; the plan governs. The floor plan is drawn from the plan set. Areas are approximate and measured to the outside face of exterior walls; porches, garages and shops are listed separately.

Floor plan and specifications

Every room is dimensioned and every door and window carries its size, straight from the plan set.

Overall footprint: 48 ft wide by 32 ft deep, the buildings' footprint without porches and decks
Stories: 1 story
Roof (main house): 7:12 pitch, 18 in overhangs
Eave 10'-6", ridge 19'-10"
Ridge runs left-to-right, parallel to the front wall
Stove flue above the Great room / kitchen / dining (8 in wide), centered 32 ft from the left end of the house (as you face the front), through the front roof slope, 5 ft from the ridge; its top is 21 ft 10 in above the floor, 2 ft above the ridge
Masses: House: 48' x 32', living space, eave 10'-6", ridge 19'-10"
Porches: Front porch: 48' x 8', 3:12 shed roof attached at 10 ft 6 in, beam 8 ft 6 in high at the posts, 6 posts

Structure: Drawn for conventional wood (stick) framing; trusses, posts, beams and footings are sized by the builder's engineer. A steel-frame or post-frame version is an adaptation your builder or engineer makes. Member sizes, connections and loads are by your builder's engineer for your site.
Foundation: Typical starting point: monolithic slab-on-grade with a thickened edge (a stem wall where frost depth requires), footings below the local frost line, a footing under every interior bearing line and girder point, and porch-post footings with uplift ties. Slab thickness, footing sizes, reinforcing and anchorage are sized by your engineer for your soil, frost depth and loads.
Counts: 8 windows, 2 exterior doors, 6 porch posts

Sizes are clear inside dimensions for rooms and rough openings for doors and windows, from the plan set. Roof heights are above the finished floor. The structure and foundation lines are typical starting points: the drawings are not stamped, and your builder's engineer sizes members, footings and anchorage for your site, soil, snow, wind and frost depth.
