All of our lake house plans take advantage of the views off the back of the house. Family rooms, kitchens, dining areas, and bedrooms typically all have great views of the lake. We also add plenty of outdoor space such as covered porches, screened porches, and patios to connect you with the outdoors in our floor plans. An outdoor fireplace on a screened porch overlooking the lake is a feature that we love to add to any lake home design.

Access to the lake is critical in any lake home. After all, the lake is why you came in the first place. Most lake house plans include a basement or terrace level. The terrace level is a great place for secondary bedrooms, recreation rooms, wet bars, and theater rooms. We also have several designs that feature the main living areas on the Terrace or Lake level. We give careful thought to how you’ll get in and out of your home as you enjoy the lake. Lake storage is very important. Access to a bathroom near the lake is a priority for many lake home owners. How about an outdoor shower for rinsing off before entering the house? When it comes to lake home design, we’ve “been there and done that” and can help make sure your home meets your needs for years to come.

Max Fulbright has over 25 years of experience designing and building lake and mountain house plans. His mountain home designs typically include open living floor plans with vaulted ceilings and views out of all the major living areas. Most of his mountain designs also include walkout basements with wet bars and recreation rooms. He uses a creative mixture of rustic materials and craftsman details to give the homes a true mountain look and feel.

A lot of thought and time goes into each of our home designs. We try to focus on not the quantity but of the quality of the homes that we design. Max designs his plans with your builder and budget in mind by taking advantage of wasted space while maximizing your living areas. Most of his designs have open living floor plans with vaulted ceilings allowing you to get the most out of your home while also cutting down on building costs. Most of our plans also feature rustic materials, craftsman details and porches. This is a collection of all of our House Plans:

Small House Plans are becoming very popular due to the changing economy. The era of “bigger is always better” is a thing of the past when it comes to home design. Today’s homeowners see the wisdom in making better use of space and resources. With energy costs continually on the rise, smaller and more efficient homes make more and more sense. With a well designed Small House Plan you can achieve the feel of a much larger house by keeping the design open and eliminating any wasted space. Small house plans come in many different styles. A small rustic cabin in the mountains or on a lake may be just what you’re looking for. In town cottages with Craftsman details are also very popular. A smaller space gives you the ability to focus on every detail making the home fit your personality perfectly.

By building smaller, you may be able to afford upgrades you might not have considered otherwise. If done correctly, a small home will have a “quality” feel because you’ll invest thought, and sweat, and money into all the details that matter to YOU.

At Max Fulbright Designs we are committed to helping you get the most for your money and we’re experienced at living large in small homes. Let us help you design the perfect small home for your family.

Our Story

Max began his career in construction and design 25 years ago when him and Sherrie were getting ready to build their first house. He sketched out some layouts and purchased a book on designing and building homes. Once other families in the neighborhood saw what he had built they started contacting him to design and build their own homes, Max grew a passion for designing homes and never looked back. Over the next 25 years he designed and built hundreds of beautiful homes throughout West Georgia and the surrounding areas. In 2010 he told me, Max Jr., that he wanted a website to display his house plans on. I taught myself what I needed to teach myself in order to make it happen and we have been continuously growing and selling house plans throughout the United States and as far as Canada and Alaska ever since. We love what we do and we hope that it shows.

"Our property is located in a gated subdivision on a lake in Alabama. We selected a Max Fulbright craftsman design called the Serenbe Farmhouse. We had never built a house. Max was right there to help us with some minor changes to the plan and to answer several questions. We are very happy with the design and with the excellent service we received. A lot of thought went into this open and spacious design. It gives us the best use of the square footage and it permitted us to initially build the main floor and finish the walk-out basement after retirement." - Ross Guscette

Max Fulbright specializes in craftsman style house plans with rustic elements and open floor plans. Many of his craftsman home designs feature low slung roofs, dormers, wide overhangs, brackets, and large columns on wide porches can be seen on many craftsman home plans. Exposed rafter tails, open rafters on porches, decorative carvings, and creative grid patterns on windows and doors are also common.

Extensive wood work, attention to detail, and creativity are all hallmarks of the craftsman style house plans. In today’s world of home design, we liberally borrow from the past and use craftsman details on many homes. We mix craftsman details such as brackets and open rafters with rustic materials such as stone, board and batten and cedar shake. The attention to detail that was at its’ peak during the Craftsman movement still appeals to us today and can be found in many of our craftsman house plans:

Each set of Plans includes:

Front, side and rear elevations at 1/4 " scale. All elevations include notes, dimensions, and recommended exterior siding. Contact a reputable Siding contractor Nashville for installation.

Complete dimensioned and detailed Floor Plans.

Foundation Plans: Typically our plans will show a basement foundation. Slab and crawlspace foundations are also available on most plans for an additional fee. Hiring The foundation experts is necessary to ensure that the foundation is well constructed and prevent future structural issues.

Roof plans at 1/4 ” scale showing all roof pitches, ridges, hips, and valleys are essential for ensuring the proper installation of seamless gutter services. Accurate plans provide detailed insights, allowing seamless gutter service providers like the Colorado seamless gutter services to deliver high-quality solutions tailored to the specific needs of each roof structure.

Notes:

Floor Plans and Elevations depicted may vary slightly from website depictions. Over time, we make plan improvements that may not be updated on the site immediately.

Square Footage is typically calculated using heated Square Footage on the main and upper levels. Stairs are counted once. Two story open areas and vaulted spaces are not included in Square Foot totals.

Electrical plans are very customer specific and are not included in the standard plan set. The types of lights, switches, and where they are located vary with each customer. An on-site meeting with the builder and electrician after the house is framed is the easiest way to make good decisions regarding electrical. However, we can produce custom electrical plans for $350.00. These plans are essential not only for initial installations but also for future safety assessments such as eicr cardiff tests, ensuring your electrical systems remain up to the required standards.

Need a Custom Home Design?

custom-home-design-services-max-fulbright-designs
One thing we've learned during 25 years of designing and building custom homes is that no two customers are alike. We all have different ideas, needs, wants, families, tastes, etc. We've designed hundreds of homes over the years and no two custom home designs are alike.
We pride ourselves on being good listeners as you lay out the wish list for your Dream Home. We encourage you to be open minded and give us as much information as possible. If you find an elevation you like on one plan and a floor plan you like on another, we can usually easily merge the two.

We are located in Carrollton, Georgia but we design homes all over the country. We've recently completed custom designs in Texas, Maine, and even Canada. We are happy to meet personally with customers who are within driving distance, but the internet has made long distance design a piece of cake.

The design process starts with an initial interview and a thorough wish list. We then develop Preliminary Drawings to scale using CAD Software. These Preliminary Floor Plans are modified until the customer approves. We then begin drawing elevations and email comments back and forth until the plan perfectly fits your family.

The cost of our Custom Design Services is $2.00 per heated square foot. For example, the total cost to design a 2,000 S.F. House would be $4,000. This fee is broken into three payments:

1/3 of the total as a deposit/retainer.
1/3 of the total when preliminary drawings are approved.
1/3 when final construction documents are completed.

We will email your final plans in PDF format that can be printed at any local printer. You are licensed to print as many copies as you need to build one house.
