Sloping Lots
Sloping lots are anything but a downfall. Build your dream home even if you don't have the best plot of land. Sloping lots offer the ideal location to build an atrium ranch home. With sweeping windows along the entire rear wall, your house will be flooded with warm, natural light. The extra light adds dimension and a sense of spaciousness to the interior while creating an impressive looking exterior. If you have found a great sloping lot, select a perfect atrium ranch home and make your dream a reality.

Combined Spaces
Combined spaces equal twice the function. Single story homes offer more flexibility in the design of the interiors than multi-level homes. Living spaces without another level overhead permit vaulted ceilings, dramatic windows and the use of skylights to add a spacious atmosphere. Many of our ranch home plans offer open living spaces created by the combination of rooms. These areas topped with a vaulted ceiling, as shown here, provide an impressive aura.
