Our plans provide all the elegance and design details of a custom house design at

Archival’s library of award-winning house designs are used by architects, builders, construction professionals, plan publishers and individual homeowners throughout the United States and in countries throughout the world.

Any Archival house design can be customized and modified for specific sites or needs.

  • A library of more than 400 house designs, from small home plans to castle homes.
  • Full blueprint packages that include applicable building codes and the most current updates for individual jurisdictions. Our building plans conform to national building codes including ICBO and CABO.
  • Modifications to adapt any plan for particular site or needs, or to give homes an individual signature and personality.
  • Elevations (exteriors) can also be modified
  • We provide promotional floor plans and renderings

“Archival Designs is one of the rarest companies that I’ve seen where every house, estate, and castle has a unique and distinctive flair – unlike other’s plans from other organizations which are very repetitious – cookie-cutter like. I praise you and the design team, and I am extremely glad to have found you! The builder was correct when he told us that you provide really good plan modification capabilities. I would refer your company to all those looking to build their dream.”. Susan Curilla

What Sets Us Apart

What sets Archival’s house designs apart from all others is that each house design — no matter the style or size — is based on the principles and proportions of the world’s classic residences. Company founder and award-winning designer David Loftus intensively studied the great manor houses, chateaux and estate homes of Europe and the world, and artfully extracted the essential elements of design and proportion that made these homes great. He then adapted them for modern uses, while still retaining all their classical elements.

Archival’s house designs are known for their creative use of space, their open living spaces, their ideal balance between rooms, and between interior and exterior spaces, and their superb functionality. Regardless of house size or style, this artful blend of classical architecture, unwavering attention to design details and exquisite use of space are the hallmarks of Archival’s award-winning and enduring house designs, which never go out of style.
