Om os

Rooted in a philosophy of simple practicality, our elegantly crafted small home plans are built with efficiency, endurance and understated elegance in mind. We cater to those seeking the archetypal American home style - something informal, yet inviting - beautifully exhibiting the 'Arts and Crafts' architectural movement unique to our country. If you're envisioning a small, energy- and cost-efficient house, a partnership with us might just be your solution. Our small home plans include bungalow house plans and craftsman house plans. Bungalow house plans feature cozy, inviting homes with open floor plans and wide porches which answer the homeowner's desire for outdoor living space. These small house plans emphasize quality workmanship and handcrafted beauty at every turn. The well wrought details in our bungalow house plans, from the low pitched roofs to the wide welcoming porches, lend themselves to a laid back and informal lifestyle. Craftsman House Plans, related to bungalow house plans, typically feature the signature low slung roof with wide eaves and exposed wood rafters; an airy, open floor plan; and a vast, inviting porch spanning the width of the front exterior and supported by stately round or square columns. Small yet highly functional living spaces equate to less energy usage over time. This is why all of our small home plans are green home plans; they lend themselves to efficient, sustainable construction, something that our builders have been executing successfully for a long time. Our green home plans translate into less waste during construction and less material usage overall. This leads to a decrease in cost, faster building times, fewer complications, and less energy wasted. In turn, cost savings can be put into energy efficient appliances, insulating systems, and even solar power.

Brooks helped us design our dream home from scratch. He was very patient and timely throughout the whole process. He was able to take our very abstract ideas and transform them to a beautiful design. On top of all this, he rendered the images below to help us and our builder bring our vision to reality. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Brooks.

As a commercial contractor that specializes in residential construction HomePattern Home plans by Brooks Ballard are superb choices. The homes have great curb appeal while being very eco friendly and cost effective to build. Over the years using his plans have provided us with the ability to build very cute cottage style homes that always come in at very affordable prices while using top rated materials. His plans allow this to be possible due to the stream line designs and lack of wasted space. I recommend his plans often to customers looking for appeal, functional space and budget friendly designs.

Mr. Brooks Ballard is an architect that designed the entire set of house plans for our new home build. He is, by far, the best architect we have ever worked with. We had been trying to design a house plan for a year and met with two other architects. Brooks Ballard greatly exceeded every other person we met with. He showed a tremendous amount of patience and not only gave us wonderful ideas, but was open to our ideas as well. Brooks was able to listen to my vague descriptions of what we wanted and actually put those ideas to paper exactly like we envisioned. He was even able to decipher my amauetar sketches. Brooks captured the vision of our new home and brought it to life. We will begin the building process in a few weeks. I cannot give enough praise for the work Brooks Ballard did for our family. From the beginning stages of finding our true, unique style, to the finished blueprints, to everything in between, Brooks comes highly recommended. His entire process is wonderful! Don't be afraid to use him long distance either. We are in Tennessee and he is in New York and the communication between us was superb. He is kind, honest, fair, and knows his business. He's gifted and talented. If you are looking for an architect, look no further. You will not find anyone better than Brooks Ballard!

We were lloking for bungalow style house plans and found Brooks online. He responded quickly to our emails and listened to our requests for changes to the plan. He made the process simple and stress-free and I would definitely work with Brooks again in the future.

I know Brooks personally and when we became frustrated with the architects in the local DC area, I contacted him to create a custom plan for us. We knew we wanted a shingle style home and I could tell from Brooks' work that he knew how to create homes with Arts & Craft style! We live in an area of Northern Virginia that has many post-WWII homes that are being torn down and rebuilt, and my husband and I have toured many of these homes looking for ideas. I am amazed at how efficiently Brooks planned our home compared to so many homes we have seen go up. Truly, no space is wasted. A small linen closet there, moving a door up here to take advantage of dead space - all these small details are what makes the difference between a thoughtful house and a house just slapped together. Here are a couple examples of ideas Brooks came up with: L-shaped breakfast nook in the kitchen with built-in bench w/ storage underneath, mudroom area across from the nook to have a window to create a focal point when sitting at the nook so you aren't staring at jackets. Our house is under construction but I just sat on the bench today and indeed, your eyes are naturally drawn to the window. Love it!

My wife and I built one of Brooks' craftsman home designs last fall. The project went incredibly smooth from start to finish and we couldn't be happier with the final result. The home sits on the edge of the historical district in Sweetwater Tn and blends in so nicely with the surrounding properties. Even after 6 months we still get drive-up complements on the beauty and craftsmanship of our home. It is evident that Brooks spent much time perfecting the small details of this plan. Much of these details made the home very economical to build: such as layout dimensions that minimized materials waste. Even more important is how well the layout lends to our family's lifestyle. It is amazing how we each feel like we have our own space while enjoying the roomy feeling of this open floor plan. We were able to personalize our home plan without any issue. Before beginning the project we were able to get all of our questions answered openly and honestly without delay. We are so fortunate that we chose Brooks because the quality of the plans gave our contractor the tools he needed to build a quality project. I would hope that anyone reading this review will stop and think on the more a contractor has to "make it up as he goes" the more likely you will have issues with your final result, and no one should have to live with regrets on the biggest project they might ever undertake.

We found Brooks online and used his architectural expertise to build two homes in North Carolina. These homes were in historic areas and his home design with excellent attention to details, resulted in the most beautiful homes. He also is great at interpreting our vague requests and modifying his plans perfectly. My husband and I highly recommend him and hope to keep building and uses his plans exclusively in the future!

After total destruction of our beach home from" Sandy" ,we found Brooks Ballard plans online for exactly what we wanted in rebuilding. Worked together via internet, refining and customizing our now 2100 sq,ft. home ( up from 1100!) . Brooks was a DELIGHT to work with and had many great ideas to add to our ideas ,resulting in the perfect summer and vacation home , designed to grow with our family for years to come. Brooks worked within our budget to be cost efficient providing top line architectural design. We are scheduled to break ground for our foundation in January2014, with our fingers crossed for a 4th of July blow out! We wanted to maintain the "bungalow" flavor of what our town used to look like, pre-storm and got a great, vintage-inspired exterior combined with a 21st century way of life interior. We'll keep you posted w/ photos!

Thank you guys so much for the kind review. I'm gong to be putting up your tweaked plan online soon. In the interim, here is a "before redesign" picture of the home for those interested. And here is the original plan - http://homepatterns.com/index.php/default/hayes-g.html

When my wife and I set out to build a home, we both agreed that bungalow styles are what we wanted. Having worked as a carpenter for a number of years I knew they were efficient builds and make the most out of small spaces. However, when it came time for plan shopping, many sites had a distorted view of what a bungalow is. In fact, I am not sure many of the online plan sites really know what a bungalow is. When we found Home Patterns, we knew we found what we were looking for; this guy knows bungalows. The process was simple. We picked the design that we liked the most and fit our budget. Then using Microsoft Paint, we simply cut and pasted the floor plan features we liked from the other plans in to our desired plan. After sending the proposed layout to Brooks, he was quick to point out any problems we might encounter and helped us get it sorted. After only a few emails, we had a working plan. After receiving the plans, we were happy to see Brooks included the small details that make a bungalow a bungalow, and sets it apart from the cookie-cutter styles that dominate today's house construction.

Brooks was great to work with. I had several changes I wanted to make to a plan. In the end, it was more cost effective to have Brooks make the changes to his plan than to hire an architect to design from scratch. I love the commitment Brooks has to architecturally correct and historical accurate design. Mike
