Beach & Lake Collection
By Fusion Design
Beach and lake house plans combine laid-back waterfront living with thoughtful design elements that enhance views and withstand coastal and lakeside conditions. Inspired by classic New England cottages and Great Lakes retreats, these homes feature wide windows, generous outdoor spaces, and durable materials like cedar shakes and weather-resistant siding. Designed for both beauty and function, these homes incorporate essential elements for waterfront living. Elevated foundations help protect against flooding, while wraparound porches, decks, and covered patios create seamless indoor-outdoor living. Large windows and glass doors maximize views and natural ventilation, bringing in cooling breezes. Many designs include impact-resistant windows and reinforced materials for durability in storm-prone areas. Open-concept layouts allow for a smooth transition between kitchen, dining, and living areas, making these homes ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. Today’s beach and lake house plans blend modern comforts with classic coastal charm. Spacious primary suites serve as private retreats with spa-like bathrooms and stunning waterfront views. Guest accommodations, including bonus rooms and bunk spaces, provide flexibility for visiting family and friends. Thoughtful additions like outdoor showers and mudrooms make beach or lake activities more convenient. Smart home features, energy-efficient windows, and advanced climate control ensure comfort in humid environments, while casual entertaining spaces with high ceilings, exposed beams, and natural materials reflect the relaxed waterfront setting. Whether designed as a full-time residence or a seasonal retreat, beach and lake house plans offer a perfect blend of elegance and functionality. These homes are not only ideal for oceanfront and lakeside properties but also work beautifully in inland settings that embrace a breezy, water-inspired lifestyle. With a focus on timeless design and practical durability, Fusion Design’s waterfront homes create the perfect environment for relaxation, entertaining, and making lasting memories by the water. ​

More Information
All of our floor plans are designed in-house and come with various options to customize your dream home.
House Plan Modifications
Since we design all of our plans, making modifications is a simple process. Click on a plan, and under the image, you will find a button to request a 100% free quote for any plan alterations. Additionally, all of our plans come with a variety of stock customization options.
Exterior Wall Construction Choices
Most of our stock plans are designed with 2x4 exterior wall construction by default. However, we offer options to modify the exterior wall type, including 2x6 exterior walls, Post Frame Construction, and CMU Block Construction.
Foundation Types
Each of our house plans comes with a default foundation type. If applicable, we provide options to adjust the foundation type to better suit your construction needs. For example, if the default foundation is an unfinished basement, you may have the option to select a walkout foundation, crawlspace, or slab foundation.
Please note that certain plans, such as those designed for waterfront properties, may require specialized foundations like post and pier construction. If an alternate foundation type is not listed as an option, you can submit an alteration request on the plan page.
Right Reading Reverse
One of our most requested options is the ability to reverse a plan. Selecting the reverse option will not only flip the layout but will also ensure that all text is corrected so the plan remains readable in its reversed form.
CAD Files
All of our plans are available as digital PDF downloads. If you need to make additional modifications, we offer an add-on option for CAD files, which are exported in AutoCAD format. This feature is ideal for home builders who need to make slight adjustments for different lots. Note that you will need software capable of opening CAD files to use this option.
Garage Choices
We offer a range of garage options to suit different layouts and preferences. Available designs include detached garages, courtyard garages, side-load garages, front-load garages, and rear-load garages.
License Types
We provide two types of licenses for house plans. A single-use license allows the purchaser to build the plan once, while an unlimited-build license is designed for professional builders who intend to use the plan multiple times.
Best Price Guarantee
You may find our plans on other vendor websites. Because we design all of our plans in-house, we offer a true price-match guarantee. If you find one of our plans listed at a lower price elsewhere, we will match it.
