Choosing the Right Floorplan for Your New Semi-Custom Home

Selecting the appropriate floorplan type is a crucial decision when constructing a semi-custom home, and True Homes provides compelling reasons to emphasize its significance. The diversity of individual lifestyles means that everyone has unique preferences for their living space. At True Homes, we recognize this diversity and have devised a method to optimize the “custom fit” for each client, empowering them to build their perfect home based on a plan tailored to their lifestyle.

True Personalization’s foundation lies in choosing one of our four floorplan styles, each designed to accommodate specific needs and preferences. 

The Transitional Plan

The transitional plan brilliantly positions the kitchen as the central focal point, creating an inviting and functional heart of the home. This layout includes an oversized island, which not only provides ample space for meal preparation and casual dining but also establishes a direct eyeline into the open-plan great room and dining area. This seamless integration of spaces fosters a sense of community and ease of interaction, making it perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen's strategic location enhances the flow of the house, connecting various rooms while maintaining an open, airy feel. 


Furthermore, the plan thoughtfully incorporates a front study, catering to the increasing demand for dedicated home office spaces. This study offers a quiet retreat for working from home, balancing the need for privacy with accessibility. Its proximity to the main living areas ensures that one can easily transition between work and relaxation, merging functionality with comfort. 


Overall, this transitional plan is a harmonious blend of modern living requirements, emphasizing connectivity, practicality, and style tailored for today's dynamic lifestyles.

The Open Plan

The open plan concept caters to individuals who relish informal, casual living and enjoy entertaining guests in a relaxed atmosphere. This architectural design offers an unrestricted and versatile space, unencumbered by internal walls, facilitating a seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen areas. 


It allows homeowners to exercise their creativity and personalize their living space, allowing them to arrange and rearrange furniture according to changing needs or preferences. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for hosting gatherings, where the absence of barriers enables guests to mingle freely, fostering a more inclusive and friendly environment.

The Traditional Plan

The traditional plan is perfectly tailored for individuals who seek a sense of familiarity and comfort in their living space. This layout embraces a classic room flow that has stood the test of time, beginning with a welcoming front dining room. This space is typically characterized by its formal ambiance, making it an ideal setting for hosting dinner parties or enjoying family meals. Moving through the plan, one encounters the great room, a versatile area that serves as the heart of the home. 


Overall, the traditional plan’s familiar flow provides a balance of formal and casual living spaces, creating a welcoming and efficient home environment.

The Contemporary Floorplan

The contemporary plan, expertly designed for entertainment enthusiasts, offers a seamless and fluid connection between key living spaces, creating an open, airy atmosphere ideal for social gatherings and family activities. Central to this layout is the integration of the kitchen, dining room, and great room, which collectively form a spacious, versatile area where guests can mingle and interact effortlessly. The kitchen becomes a focal point for casual conversations, while the adjacent dining area caters to both intimate family dinners and larger festive occasions. The great room, with its comfortable seating and ambient lighting, invites relaxation and entertainment, making it perfect for movie nights or informal get-togethers. Adding to the plan's flexibility is a first-floor study, a quiet retreat for work or reading, and a flex room. 


This adaptable space can be transformed according to the homeowner's needs, whether as a home gym, playroom, or an additional guest room, offering practical solutions for a variety of activities.
