The Problem With Stairs

This picture may be a little extreme, but at the end of the day, have you ever felt like you've been climbing stairs like these in your 2 or 3 story home?

Stairs are a struggle when you need to move in large furniture or simply a car load of groceries. But they can also become more difficult to handle when getting older. How nice would it be to have your own private elevator to take you up and down the levels of your home? Southern Cottages House Plans offers several plans that incorporate a personal elevator into the design. The cottages below all feature an elevator.

Winds Cottage - The Winds Cottage is a contemporary adaptation of southern coastal elements put together in a new and exciting way.

Porches Cottage - The Porches Cottage is ideal for a streetscape lot in a beach house community or anywhere large, covered porches are desirable. The "inverted living area" floor plan maximizes views.

Shelter Cottage - The Shelter Cottage has a large, sheltering roof and ample covered outdoor living spaces. The linear plan allows for views both front and back from most all rooms making it light and airy.

Peaks Cottage - "Rooms in the roof" and a cascading, sheltering roofline give this house a distinctive appearance.
