22' x 28' Lean Cottage Architectural Plans

The 22' x 28' Lean Cottage delivers 616 square feet of smart, modern living under a distinctive shed roofline. One bedroom, one bathroom, and a loft that opens up the sleeping configuration — this is a versatile cottage plan that works equally well as a vacation cabin, guest house, or compact primary residence on a rural lot.

The single-slope lean roof is one of the defining characteristics of modern cabin architecture — cleaner than a gable, more contemporary than a traditional pitched roof, and highly efficient at channeling water and snow off the structure. Three foundation options give you flexibility to match your site: concrete piers, concrete slab, or crawlspace.
