BUILDING PLAN TESTIMONIALS

"April saved the day for us with the perfect small home to fit our budget. We had tried to use plans online and do everything ourselves, but it took April's know-how to design a functional, beautiful home and work with local officials on approval. A lot of people gasp when we say our house is fewer than 500 square feet with a 200 square foot loft, but they always gasp again when they go inside -- because it doesn't feel "tiny.". The ample porch space, the open floor plan, and the lots of windows help keep the space from feeling too small. Throughout the building process, April has helped inform our decision to keep our budget reasonable and build the best for our climate. We couldn't have made our dream a reality without her and her invaluable expertise! Building a home is one of the most important things we have done. We tried to cheap out on it. Luckily, April was there to save our dream."

"We have always known that we wanted a small, energy efficient, low carbon footprint home. I’m so happy we discovered April’s stock plans! We are able to get our dream home without the cost of a full custom plan. Our dream of building a permaculture homestead is becoming a reality, and we are thrilled! Thanks Root Down!"
- Nicole Edwards, family of 4

"Especially in the architect field, you are a gem to find because not everyone wants or can build a high end, luxury home. Some of us just want a eco friendly home of a small/moderate size, but finding an architect to do that is a challenge. A lot of architects only want to design typical stick built houses with huge, expensive floor plans.  I didn't want a poorly done, mass produced home. I was losing hope on ever getting our home built and ready to hang up our plans until I spoke with you."

Ashley Bean, Family of 8
