Best-Selling Publications that Contain House and Floor Plans
Tiny is king in this book by Michael Janzen and the plans are small (96-288 sq.ft.) including homes that have footprints of 8×12, 8×16, 8×20, 8×24, 8×28, 8×32, 12×12, 12×12 + Loft, 12×16, 12×16 + Loft, 12×20, 12×20 + Loft, 12×24 and 12×24 + Loft! These can be built on wheeled trailers for mobility or a permanent foundation.
50 Creative Floor Plans for Well-Designed Small Homes
Extremely popular and offers house plans for 50 homes ranging from 800-1400 sq.ft. This is not a flashy book with color photos. All of plans are in monochrome and are VERY detailed. Seeing the floorplans is great because you get a visual feel of how (not) large these homes are that can still be very liveable.
Compact Cabins: Simple Living in 1000 Square Feet or Less
Another FANTASTIC resource from Gerald Rowan which provides 62 designs for compact and creative buildings. You can preview many of the pages before you purchase it!

ePlans Tiny Country House plan 66032 is still large enough for traditional financing (financing houses under 400 sq ft is tricky), but definitely considered a small house plan. Again, I think I’d ditch one of the bedrooms for one larger bedroom instead of 2 small ones.
ePlans Craftsman Bungalow 11192 is 1,484 sq ft. Slightly larger than a traditional “small” house, but still small by modern standards. Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and two stories.
ePlans Cottage Plan 12028 is only 945 sq. ft. The living area is on the second story with the 2 bedrooms on the first story. I honestly would ditch one of the 2 bedrooms and make just one large bedroom down stairs instead of two small ones.
