Compact Weekend Escape
The Kelley
980 sq ft • 1 bedrooms • 1 baths • One and a half story
Small Enough to Build Now. Good Enough to Keep.
A modest footprint with the same logs, the same joinery, and the same quiet that larger homes are built for.
What Makes This Home Special
- The sleeping loft keeps the main floor open.
- A tight footprint suits difficult or remote sites.
- Often the first phase of a longer plan for a property.

Floor Plan
980 square feet, arranged around the great room.
Schematic arrangement — full architectural plan sets are reviewed together during design.
Investment
What's included, and what isn't.
Below is how a The Kelley project is broken down. Your starting configuration is the plan as drawn; your current estimate reflects the choices you make from there.
Log Package+
Wall logs, scribing and fitting, corner work, borate treatment, and the fasteners and sealing materials used in the wall assembly.
Roof Package+
Roof framing members, sheathing, and the substantial overhangs that protect the log walls.
Chink & Stain+
Exterior and interior chinking plus the initial stain and seal cycle on the log work.
Interior Framing+
Interior partition framing for bedrooms, baths and utility spaces.
Windows & Doors+
Units and openings framed to allow the log walls to settle freely.
Decks+
Deck and porch framing, decking and railing as shown on the plan.
Subfloor+
Floor system over the foundation, sized to the plan and span.
Additional Work+
Optional phases — garages, added bedrooms, extended porches, dormers, finish carpentry — priced as the design is settled.
Pricing Notes+
Foundations, site work, utilities, permits, transportation distance, crane access, and local trade rates all move the number. Pricing is subject to change with material markets and is confirmed in writing at planning.
Payment Schedule+
Payments are tied to defined milestones — agreement, material procurement, fabrication, delivery and erection stages — and set out in your project documents.
Owner responsibilitiesLand, foundation, utilities, permits and local trades are typically coordinated by the homeowner unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Location-dependent expensesTransportation distance, crane access, site conditions and local labor rates vary by property.
