Design Castle Home

Archival Designs' most popular house plans are our Castle Home Plans, featuring starter castle homes and luxury mansion castle designs ranging in size from just under 3000 square feet to more than 20,000 square feet.

Although "starter castles" and "starter castle homes" are now common terms in the housing industry, it was actually Archival Designs that coined those terms that are now in popular use today.

Our home castle plans are based on the grand castles of Europe from England, France, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and Spain, and include designs from the great manor homes, grand estates and elegant French chateaux.

Modern Interiors Nordic Villa with Glass Walls

An exterior of classic grey brick and glass has a timeless appeal, with a large wood deck overlooking the water. The largely flat roof takes an upward turn as you move to the front of the house, toward the water, thus affording the main living areas higher ceilings, more natural light and greater views.

And in response to its prime waterfront location, this modern villa puts all the home's principal rooms - the bedroom, master bath, living area, dining room and kitchen - alongside a floor to ceiling glass wall that overlooks the verandah, extending the entire south face of the house with the water just beyond and always within sight.

Inside, the timeless aesthetic takes on a more contemporary style, with cool concrete floors, warm wood ceilings and sun soaked interiors thanks to the expansive glazing.

teak table by inoda

The dark, gamine profile of this chair channels black-and-white photographs of prim Scandinavian living rooms of the early-to-mid 60s. Mother in a dress and pearls, Dad holding a pipe and wearing a cardigan knitted by Mother. Children in neckties and hair bows. Shiny and skinny-legged teak table surrounded by equally slim, dark-wood chairs.

This delicate chair is not named Bambi but DC09, which, in turn, reminds us of Alvar Aalto’s Artek and his product numbering. The chair’s thin seat and straight, slim legs disguise a deer-like strength and agility, allowing the wood to hug the body and the chair, elegantly, to take up minimum visual space.

DC09 comes from Milan-based Inoda+Sveje Design Studio, established in Copenhagen in 2000 by Osaka-born Kyoko Inoda and Danish Nils Sveje. Japanese Miyazaki Isu manufactures this chair in teak, ash or Indonesian rose wood.
