Frank Lloyd Wright is considered the father of cantilevered homes. In 1935, he designed his Falling Waters Home, setting the standard for the design. Over the years, the cantilever design in homes developed into techniques used today in modern pedestal houses.


Before the pedestal home designs from Logangate were drafted, home developers often encountered the challenge of building a traditional-sized home on a steeply sloping lot with a limited budget for the cost of the foundation. To solve this, we created our pedestal house kits. Our pedestal home plans use a smaller foundation to cantilever 10 ft in all four directions. A small foundation means fewer foundation costs. The idea became so popular over the next 25 years that hundreds of our pedestal home plans were built all around the East Coast and across the country.

Pedestal Home

With over 46 years of experience in the industry, Logangate has built more cantilevered pedestal houses than our competitors. This experience has led us to new designs and capabilities, such as cantilevering 12 ft and even 14 ft with specific designs!

Pedestal House and Style

At Logangate Timber Homes, we have three distinct architectural styles that can be cantilevered: Contemporary or Modern, Timber/Cabin, and Classic. All three use the same reliable Panelized post-and-beam building system.

 

Cantilevered house designs have many practical benefits; pedestal home designs allow for a smaller (and less costly) foundation and a smaller footprint. A smaller footprint results in less site disturbance, less soil erosion, and fewer trees removed because the foundation is smaller. These factors are critical when building a home on a steep lot and are tightly regulated by state and local codes. Fortunately, Logangate Timber Homes has the experience, and many counties with steep slope building restrictions welcome Logangate home designs!

 

Our pedestal houses are flexible and customizable to suit our clients’ needs. Logangate pedestal house plans range from 1000 sq. ft. to 3600 sq. ft. in total size. Simply pick the square footage you desire and let our in-house design team draft your customized floor plans. The cantilevered pedestal house plans have complete AutoCAD blueprints, floor plans, elevations, and a total construction set.

 

Logangate uses pre-assembled walls built in a factory-controlled setting with installed windows. This method of building is also known as “premanufacturing,” “prefabrication,” “modular construction,” and a few others. Premanufacturing is a modern marvel in design and architectural ingenuity; it provides precision manufacturing in a climate-controlled factory. That means total control over the smallest details for a perfect build. The Douglas fir rafters are pre-cut, sanded, and numbered to match the blueprints. Our insulated roof panels are also pre-cut to size and pitch cut. The pedestal home kit is then delivered to the job site and ready for complete assembly of the home, with minimal pre-exposure to the elements and moisture.

Our homes use Energy Star-certified windows and can utilize passive solar design for each side of the house. Passive Solar is a way to customize the glass in the windows to better restrict heat gain in the summer or allow natural heat gain in the winter based on which way the window is facing, north or southwest, for example.

Our pedestal homes are ideal for difficult terrains like steep slopes and flood plains. The cantilevered home design becomes a cost-effective way to build on once thought of unbuildable lots. Call us to discuss your needs and see if our pedestal home plans are right for you.
