Jacko Senior – MM-818

A Compact Modern House Plan with Dramatic Vertical Style and a Surprisingly Spacious Feel Jacko Senior is a tiny house plan with a towering personality. Originally designed with only 502 square feet the Original Jacko’s Place grew into this larger relative. With only 818 finished square feet, this two-story modern home delivers architectural drama, light-filled living, and livable comfort in a lean and efficient package. Designed for urban lots, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), or homeowners seeking a modern minimalist lifestyle, Jacko Senior is proof that great things really do come in small, smart packages.

This compact modern home plan is ideal for city infill, backyard builds, short-term rentals, or personal retreats. With a sleek shed roof profile, bold front façade, and expansive windows that flood the interior with light, Jacko Senior combines bold modern design with everyday livability in a way few small homes can.

Eye-Catching Modern Elevation with Shed Roof Appeal

The exterior of Jacko Senior is a striking composition of vertical and horizontal lines, highlighted by its dramatic two-story window wall and asymmetric shed roofs. The strong upward geometry draws the eye skyward, making the home appear much larger than its modest footprint. A clean material palette of modern siding and stone accents gives the home a contemporary edge while maintaining warmth and street presence.

At just 20 feet wide and 22 feet deep, this compact house plan is tailor-made for tight urban lots or as an ADU behind a larger residence. Its small footprint allows for creative siting, while the expressive modern design ensures it stands out—in all the right ways.

A Main Floor Designed for Gathering and Flow

Step inside Jacko Senior and you’re greeted by a surprisingly open and airy main floor layout. The great room, dining area, and kitchen flow together in a seamless open-concept space, unified by tall windows that bring in abundant natural light. At 15’8” wide and 13’ deep, the great room offers ample space for lounging, dining, or entertaining. Whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening in, the main level lives larger than you’d expect.

The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged along the side wall to maximize openness without sacrificing function. With efficient counter space and room for bar seating or a small table, it’s a perfect example of modern minimalism done right. A convenient powder bath rounds out the main level, tucked thoughtfully near the entry for privacy and function.

A Vaulted Primary Suite That Feels Like a Sanctuary

Upstairs, the entire second floor is dedicated to a stunning vaulted primary suite—a rare luxury in a home this size. The bedroom measures an impressive 15’8” x 15’8” and features soaring ceilings, panoramic windows, and plenty of space for a king-size bed, reading nook, or small workspace.

A large walk-in closet and a full bathroom complete the suite, offering generous storage and privacy. Whether you use this level as a personal retreat or as a luxurious rental suite, it delivers comfort and elegance well beyond expectations for a compact home plan.

The vaulted ceiling enhances the feeling of openness and light, while the views from the upper windows create a strong connection to the outdoors—an essential element of modern living.

Smart, Flexible Living in a Compact Footprint

At only 818 square feet, Jacko Senior offers remarkable flexibility. It’s an ideal choice for:

• Urban infill projects where space is limited but style matters
• A backyard ADU for extended family, guests, or rental income
• First-time homeowners looking for affordability with modern flair
• A private office or studio space with full residential amenities
• Vacation properties where space is at a premium but design is a priority

This plan’s simplicity of form and richness of experience make it an outstanding choice for modern lifestyles of all kinds.
