Home Plan Examples

Participants in Northwest Housing Development's mutual self-help housing program typically build homes that range in size from 1,000 to as much as 1,600 square feet. That leaves ample space for a living room, kitchen, dining area, laundry area, one or two bathrooms and up to five bedrooms (depending on the number of people in the household).

Homes may be one or two story, wood-framed with gas or electric heat and an attached garage (parking area provided on Vashon Island). The homes are modest in design and cost, but a choice of siding, roof styles and colors are available. Cooperative buying power helps minimize the cost of materials and energy efficient appliances for your new home.

The selection of home plans varies with each development according to changes in building materials, new construction technology, contemporary design preferences and lot sizes.
