Northwest Modern Design

Stunning Contemporary House Plan

We’ve distilled all of the features from our favorite contemporary plans to create the ultimate, “sized just right” home for a tricky lot. This plan can be adapted for even the toughest of sloping lots. The exterior screams contemporary, northwest modern with its clean, shed roof, its use of natural materials, and a silhouette that compliments the landscape instead of distracting from it.

You’ll enter this home one of two ways: through the main floor entrance next to the kitchen, or through the garage, up the stairs, and into the great room. We’ve designed the main floor to feel open and communal in the central spaces, while maintaining thoughtfully zoned and private bedrooms on either end of the home. The kitchen benefits from an L-shaped layout that maximizes usable counter space thanks to a central island and creative appliance placement. A large pantry in the corner completes the kitchen. The great room boasts massive floor to ceiling windows that will help you take advantage of even the most breathtaking of views. This theme carries into the main suite, where another large bank of windows look out behind the home, downhill of wherever you should choose to build.

Speaking of the main suite, this bedroom gets the entire right wing of the house all to itself, and even includes a private, wraparound deck that looks to the side and downhill. The bathroom in this suite includes side by side sinks, a large walk-in closet, a private toilet, and an oversized, custom shower. This plan also includes two additional bedrooms on the left side, both comparable sizes with a full bath between the two.

We can make modifications to any of our plans, just write to us via our contact page with any questions you may have. If you’d like to view more of our contemporary house plans, click here.

We are very pleased to have been asked to design another Extreme Home for ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition and Legend Homes , this time right in our own backyard.

A very deserving family in Corvallis needed a new home in the worst way, we were fortunate enough to have a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 4 car garage, house plan already pretty close to what the site and the family needed, so we were able to make pretty big revisions and turn the working drawings around in about 10 days.

This custom house plan house worked out magnificently well thanks to the design team and the awesome team at Legend Homes, who built a beautiful one of a kind dream home in about 4 days without cutting any corners.

If you view the plans for this dream house you will see that it has an open concept floor plan with the kitchen overlooking the dining room and great room area. Two rooms are at the front of the home which can be used for home offices or additional bedrooms, 3 bedrooms are on the right side, and the master suite is towards the back of the home.

The design team could be heard saying “Mark Stewart you are a rock star!” Tanya McQueen. and ” This is probably the best home design we have ever built” (Denise Cramsey show producer) and “I am definitely going to have you design our new home in Oregon” Tracy Hutson.

We have completely loved every minute of working with everyone on the show and consider them like a second family. Thank you to all of you on the show and especially the Byers Family in Corvallis. This episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition aired in the fall of 2007.

At Mark Stewart Design we are very proud to have been asked to design the first true “Designer Home” for ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 3,981 square foot home was designed for the Westbrook Family in Lawton Oklahoma, this special privilege has never been extended beyond the talented design cast of the Program. We were given a grand total of 2 days to design this challenging house plan.

Two family members are confined to wheelchairs and along with this obvious challenge we needed to make the ambulatory members of the family at home in their new house. The results of this craftsman house design were featured on the April 15, 2007 episode of ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

You can see the various sketches and design ideas we prepared for this special project as well as view the final product here on our website. Besides offering tons of space this home also offers a two car garage as well.
