Modern L-shaped cottage plan with basement – ​​3 bedrooms and 1,695 sq. ft.
 

 
This modern L-shaped cottage plan with a basement features a contemporary architectural design spanning 1,695 sq. ft., comprising three bedrooms, a spacious open-concept living area, and a generous covered terrace. With its single-story layout, horizontal lines, and abundant windows, this model is equally suitable as a four-season cottage or a primary single-family home.
 

 
Measuring 56 feet wide and 36 feet deep, the residence is built on a poured concrete foundation that provides access to an unfinished basement. Its L-shaped footprint helps define the home's various functional zones while creating a covered outdoor space directly connected to the main living areas.
 

 
An L-shaped home with contemporary architecture
 

 
The exterior architecture is defined by the low, horizontal profile characteristic of contemporary design. A low-slope roof accentuates this sleek silhouette, while the combination of dark cladding and wood accents creates a striking contrast on the facades.
 

 
The L-shaped layout also allows for the seamless integration of an impressive 19'11" x 17'0" covered terrace. Sheltered by the extended roofline and framed by structural posts, this area serves as a true extension of the living space during the warmer months.
 

 
Large windows facing this outdoor area foster a direct connection between the cottage’s interior and its surroundings.
 

 
An open-concept layout centered around the kitchen
 

 
The interior of this modern L-shaped cottage plan is organized around a large open-concept area that combines the kitchen, dining room, and living room.
 

 
The 13'0" x 10'8" kitchen occupies a central position. Its large island offers ample workspace while also accommodating seating for several people. This layout promotes efficient flow between the various zones of the open-concept area.
 

 
The 13'0" x 12'0" dining room is situated directly in front of the large openings leading to the terrace. The 13'4" x 16'9" living room completes the shared living space and also benefits from abundant windows.
 

 
Three bedrooms on the main floor
 

 
The house features three bedrooms on a single level—a particularly appealing feature for those seeking a functional home without an upper floor.
 

 
The bedrooms measure 10'9" x 13'6", 13'7" x 11'4", and 10'4" x 11'4", respectively. Their placement in different sections of the building helps separate private areas from the central living space.
 

 
A full bathroom (9'3" x 11'4") serves all three bedrooms. Its layout accommodates a bathtub, a separate shower, a toilet, and a vanity.
 

 
Integrated utility spaces
 

 
An 8'10" x 11'4" mechanical room is directly accessible from the main floor. This room allows for the consolidation of key technical equipment without encroaching on the living areas.
 

 
The main entrance features a distinct 9'0" x 5'6" vestibule. This transition zone facilitates efficient movement between the outdoors, the bedrooms, and the common living area.
 

 
An unfinished basement offering additional potential
 

 
Unlike many contemporary single-story homes built on a slab, this model sits on a poured concrete foundation with a basement.
 

 
The basement is delivered unfinished in the standard plan. It therefore provides significant additional floor space that can be used for storage or fitted out according to the owners' needs, subject to applicable project standards and requirements.
 

 
This feature offers the benefits of a home with all main living areas on the ground floor, while also providing an additional lower level.
 

 
A contemporary cottage designed for indoor-outdoor living
 

 
With 1,695 sq. ft. of space, three bedrooms, an open-concept layout, and a large covered deck, this model focuses on a simple, efficient design. The absence of a garage allows the entire main footprint to be dedicated to living areas.
 

 
This L-shaped modern cottage plan with a basement is ideal for owners seeking distinctive contemporary architecture, single-level living, and a strong connection to the outdoors. Its 56' x 36' dimensions, poured concrete foundation, and unfinished basement also make it an excellent starting point for a project that can evolve to meet the occupants' changing needs.
