How I designed this plan.
I designed Diana’s Dog Trot as a 4-bedroom, 3-bath dogtrot cabin that delivers 1,555 square feet across two stories on a narrow lot footprint just 48 feet 8 inches wide. This is a modern take on the classic dogtrot layout where a screened-in breezeway connects two wings of the home with open air between them.
The main floor gives you 738 square feet per wing with a vaulted great room that makes the compact cabin feel open and generous. The screened-in dogtrot porch in the center becomes the favorite room in the house on warm days, connecting both living wings while letting every breeze pass through.
Upstairs, a vaulted loft at 374 square feet opens to the living space below, adding a flexible room for sleeping, office, or retreat that stays connected to the heart of the home. Nine-foot ceilings on the main level keep the proportions comfortable. A front porch stretches across the facade and the dogtrot screened porch provides covered outdoor living in the center of the home.
At 48 feet 8 inches wide by 43 feet 4 inches deep with no garage, this cabin fits narrow lots where conventional plans cannot work. The guest wing gives visitors their own space separate from the main living areas. It is a building tradition that still makes perfect sense for narrow lots and warm climates. The Diana’s Dog Trot plan is available for $1,495.

Before you buy.
What is included in the Diana's Dog Trot plan set?+
Each plan set includes dimensioned floor plans for all levels, front, side, and rear elevations at 1/4" scale with notes and dimensions, a foundation plan for the version supplied, and roof plan. Additional foundation options are available separately and are not included in the plan price. Please inquire before ordering to confirm whether we have the version you need. Available as a PDF plan set ($1,495) or editable CAD files ($1,950). Electrical plans are not included because they are customer-specific and finalized on site with your builder and electrician after framing.
Can the Diana's Dog Trot plan be modified?+
Yes. Modifications are one of the most common services we provide. Our in-house design team handles all modifications directly. Common changes include adjusting bedroom count, resizing rooms, changing exterior materials, or adapting for a specific lot. Typical turnaround is 2 to 4 weeks. Contact Max Fulbright Designs at (770) 301-4214 or [email protected] for a free consultation and quote.
Does the Diana's Dog Trot plan require a structural engineer's stamp?+
Stock plans do not include a professional engineer's stamp. Many US jurisdictions require a licensed engineer in your state to review and stamp the plans before permit submission. Check with your local building department before purchasing. This is a standard industry practice and is not unique to Max Fulbright Designs.
Who designed the Diana's Dog Trot plan?+
The Diana's Dog Trot plan was drawn personally by Max Fulbright Sr., the founder of Max Fulbright Designs. Max is a Georgia Institute of Technology-trained engineer who has designed and personally built more than 500 custom homes since founding the firm in 1990. Every plan in the Max Fulbright Designs catalog is drawn by Max himself.
Can I build the Diana's Dog Trot plan in any US state?+
Yes. Max Fulbright Designs has delivered more than 12,000 plans to homeowners and builders in all 50 US states and Canada. The Diana's Dog Trot plan is drawn to general residential construction standards that work in most US jurisdictions, though local building codes vary and should be reviewed with your builder before construction.
