Scandinavian-Style House Plan with 3 to 4 Bedrooms, Home Office, and Garage – The Azalea Model

Just like the plant that inspired its name, the Azalea house plan embodies a perfect balance of beauty, wellness, and functionality. Known for its elegant appearance and natural air-purifying qualities, the azalea reflects the same dual purpose found in this thoughtfully designed Scandinavian-inspired contemporary home—where refined design meets eco-conscious living and everyday comfort.

Featuring natural stone and wood accents, the Azalea offers a warm, modern exterior that feels both inviting and timeless—ideal for today’s families. Designed to take full advantage of a southwest orientation, the plan maximizes natural solar gains, and can be mirrored or adjusted to suit your lot’s orientation. The stone fireplace, strategically positioned, helps store passive solar heat, while wide roof overhangs block excessive summer sun yet allow warming winter rays inside. With 6/12 roof pitches—perfect for solar panel installation—and a generous roof surface, the design supports the potential use of solar energy for both the water heater and home heating system.

Originally conceived with a slab-on-grade foundation and radiant floor heating, the Azalea can also accommodate a central HVAC system, enhanced by solar energy and a smart thermostat—now more affordable than ever. An optional basement foundation is also available and can be selected at checkout for added flexibility.

Inside, comfort is immediately apparent. A cathedral ceiling in the main-level living room promotes natural air circulation while filling the open spaces with abundant daylight. The sleek, modern kitchen, complete with a large island and walk-in pantry, opens to the dining area, which flows seamlessly onto a spacious covered deck. This outdoor space is ideal for a BBQ area, a large dining table, and even a multi-purpose screened enclosure.

A flex room located next to a full bathroom can serve as a home office, playroom, or fourth bedroom, making the layout highly adaptable. The garage entry, conveniently located near the laundry and mechanical room, offers discreet and practical access to the home.

Upstairs, the primary suite features a large walk-in closet, a private balcony, and direct access to a spacious family bathroom with a separate tub and shower and a double vanity. Well-sized secondary bedrooms provide comfort for the whole family, while a mezzanine overlooking the living room maintains a strong visual connection between levels.

Outside, the Azalea continues its eco-friendly approach with options for a screened garden area, rainwater collection, or even an urban chicken coop (where permitted). A pergola structure can support climbing vines or flowering plants, and a kitchen-adjacent vegetable and herb garden encourages sustainable living. The large covered deck, designed for comfort in sun or rain, becomes a true extension of the indoor living space.

The Azalea is more than just a house plan—it’s a bright, healthy, and sustainable lifestyle, thoughtfully designed for today and built for the future.
