Tip 1
Use two related wood tones so the cottage reads clearly from a distance.
LAYER-BY-LAYER HOUSE PLAN
A compact cottage plan with pale timber, mossy stone accents, flower boxes, and enough wall length to decorate without crowding the interior.
Best for village plots, garden builds, and a small house that should feel finished rather than temporary.

Finish one grid before moving upward. Use the buttons or keyboard focus controls, then download any active layer as SVG.
Set the exact footprint, then fill the interior floor before raising any walls.

BUILDING TIPS
Use two related wood tones so the cottage reads clearly from a distance.
Keep flower boxes outside the footprint; they do not affect the core material count.
A chimney looks best one block off center rather than on the roof ridge.
