Scandinavian-style cottage plan with mezzanine (slab foundation) – 1,815 sq. ft.
 

 
This Scandinavian-style cottage plan, designed for a slab foundation, features a distinctive architectural style that blends Scandinavian, contemporary, and rustic influences. With 1,815 square feet of living space, two bedrooms, and a mezzanine, this model emphasizes spacious interiors, abundant windows, and a functional layout spread across two levels.
 

 
Measuring 36 feet wide with a main depth of 34 feet, the cottage is built on a slab foundation, with no basement or garage. Its architecture is defined by a steeply pitched gable roof, an exterior finish combining wood with dark surfaces, and large windows that highlight its contemporary character.
 

 
A bright, open-concept ground floor
 

 
The ground floor serves as the heart of the cottage. The kitchen, dining room, and living room are grouped within a vast open-concept living area that promotes easy flow and open sightlines. The kitchen features a spacious layout with a large central island, providing extra prep space and integrated seating.
 

 
The dining room sits directly next to the kitchen, while the living room benefits from the vertical volume created by the open view up to the mezzanine. This layout takes full advantage of the building's height, creating a sense of spaciousness that is particularly impressive for a cottage of this size.
 

 
A first bedroom, measuring approximately 15'9" x 12'0", is located on the ground floor. This level also includes a full bathroom and a separate laundry/mechanical room. A side entrance creates a practical transition space between the outdoors and the living area.
 

 
A multifunctional mezzanine
 

 
Upstairs, the mezzanine stands out as one of the plan's key features. It houses a second bedroom with a walk-in closet, as well as a spacious living area that can serve as a secondary lounge, relaxation zone, home office, or family room.
 

 
The large open area overlooking the ground floor maintains a visual connection between the two levels and preserves the architectural volume of the main room. The living area also provides access to an outdoor balcony measuring approximately 23'3" by 6'0".
 

 
This layout creates an interesting separation between spaces while maintaining the open feel characteristic of Scandinavian architecture.
 

 
Contemporary Scandinavian architecture with rustic touches
 

 
On the exterior, the simple form is dominated by an imposing gable roof with metal roofing. The combination of natural wood siding and dark vertical cladding creates a striking contrast that modernizes the traditional cottage aesthetic.
 

 
Expansive windows allow natural light to penetrate deep into the common areas. A 36-foot-wide covered terrace extends the living space outdoors, while the mezzanine balcony provides a second outdoor area accessible from the upper level.
 

 
A 2-bedroom cottage plan designed for spacious volumes
 

 
With 1,815 sq. ft., two bedrooms, a bathroom, an open-concept layout, and a mezzanine, this cottage offers a configuration ideally suited to those who prefer spacious common areas over a multitude of enclosed rooms.
 

 
Choosing a slab-on-grade foundation simplifies the building's vertical layout: primary daily living functions are concentrated on the ground floor, while the mezzanine serves as a supplementary level.
 

 
This Scandinavian-style cottage plan—featuring a mezzanine and slab foundation—is an excellent choice for a project seeking a warm architectural style, a strong connection to the outdoors, and an interior design that highlights vertical space and natural light.
