Modern Scandinavian House or Cabin Plan: Open Layout, Cathedral Ceilings, and a Unique Covered Rear Terrace

The NORDIC HAVEN house plan (#3978) features clean, refined lines inspired directly by modern Scandinavian design—a style highly appreciated in Québec for its balance of simplicity, warmth, and functionality. Its soft, elegant architecture, enhanced by a harmonious selection of materials and colors, creates an immediate sense of accessible refinement. From the very first glance, this compact 1,329 sq.ft. main-floor home (with an equally sized basement) stands out for its brightness, inviting atmosphere, and attention to detail.

The main floor offers a full open-concept layout, designed to support both daily living and gatherings with friends. The back of the home enjoys abundant natural light, illuminating the kitchen, dining room, and living area thanks to generous windows and two double patio doors. The space feels even larger thanks to striking cathedral ceilings located in the entry, kitchen, and living room. These elevated volumes create a remarkable visual impact and a strong sense of openness.

The front entry is open and well-organized, offering two large closets and a built-in bench perfect for boots and coats. The kitchen, the true heart of the home, is centered around a large island ideal for cooking and entertaining. A spacious walk-in pantry provides excellent storage, a valuable feature for active families or last-minute dinners. The kitchen and dining room open directly onto the living room, where a central fireplace creates a warm and welcoming ambiance visible from all main living areas.

At the back, two sets of double patio doors lead to a covered terrace measuring 20' x 5'8", perfect for enjoying the outdoors in any season. The main floor also includes two comfortable bedrooms—one primary and one secondary—that share a full bathroom with a separate tub and shower plus two sinks.

The standard basement is delivered unfinished and ready for your future layout plans.

For those who need more living space, the optional finished basement ($) adds two bedrooms, a home office (or Bedroom #5), a family room, a laundry room, a shower room, and a mechanical/storage area.

To receive the finished basement version, simply select the “Choose Your Foundation” option during checkout. If not selected, the unfinished basement is included at no extra cost.
