Living in The Vista Grande
Who it suits
The Vista Grande suits estate lots and big builds. A garage wing for 3 cars, a bedroom wing at the back and an outdoor living room spread the plan out, so the lot needs to be wide.
Room by room
- Front door: a 6 x 9 ft double door under the timber portico opens into the great room, with a mudroom, pantry, powder room and coat closet off it.
- Outdoors: an 8 ft glass door leads to the covered outdoor living room; a 12 ft glass door also opens to the rear.
- Primary suite: the west gallery runs past the wine and game room to the primary suite, with its walk-in closet and bath.
- Bedroom wing: the north gallery passes the laundry and linen closet to a hall serving Bedroom 2, Bedroom 3, Bedroom 4, Bath 2 and Bath 3.
Build notes
- The house roof is 7:12, with an 11 ft eave and a ridge at 21 ft 6 in. Two front cross gables are 12 ft wide over the portico and 22 ft wide over the primary bedroom.
- The bedroom wing runs front to back at the rear, with a 19 ft 9 in ridge. The 48 x 24 ft garage wing has a 17 ft ridge and 3 doors, each 9 x 8 ft.
- The garage opens into the mudroom, and your builder confirms the garage-to-house separation your area calls for at that door.
- The outdoor living room is 16 x 16 ft and open to the air. Any pool is designed separately; your building department decides what it needs.
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
- 128 ft wide by 68 ft deep, the buildings' footprint without porches and decks
- Stories
- 1 story
- Roof (main house)
- 7:12 pitch, 18 in overhangs
- Eave 11'-0", ridge 21'-6"
- Ridge runs left-to-right, parallel to the front wall
- Cross gable on the front: a 7:12 gable 12 ft wide, starting 30 ft from the left corner of the front wall, over the entry portico
- Cross gable on the front: a 7:12 gable 22 ft wide, starting 58 ft from the left corner of the front wall, over the Primary bedroom

- Masses
- House: 80' x 36', living space, eave 11'-0", ridge 21'-6"
- Bedroom wing: 30' x 32', living space, eave 11'-0", ridge 19'-9"
- Garage: 48' x 24', eave 10'-0", ridge 17'-0"
- Outdoor living room: 16' x 16', open-air, eave 10'-0", ridge 14'-8"
- Porches
- Front porch: 12' x 10', 3:12 shed roof attached at 11 ft, beam 8 ft 6 in high at the posts, 2 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; shop and garage slabs are usually heavier than living-area slabs.
- Counts
- 11 windows, 3 exterior doors, 3 overhead doors, 2 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.
