Let’s be honest—there’s something magical about a cottage-style home. Maybe it’s the gabled roofs, the welcoming front porch, or the fact that you feel like you just stepped into a Hallmark movie set in Acadiana. Whatever the case, cottage-style homes are having a major moment—and we at Andries Builders are totally here for it. If you're dreaming of a custom home in Lafayette, LA that oozes charm, comfort, and Southern hospitality, let’s talk about why a cottage-style floor plan might just be your floorplan soulmate.

Open, Yet Intimate Spaces = The Best of Both Worlds

Cottage-style floor plans are all about creating cozy, people-friendly spaces that still feel airy. Think:

  • Open-concept kitchens that spill into the living room (because no one wants to cook in isolation)
  • Defined nooks and corners perfect for a reading chair or coffee table setup
  • Natural light galore thanks to strategically placed windows

Your home will feel like a warm hug—but with really good lighting.

A Porch Made for Porch-Sitting (and People-Watching)

You can’t talk about a Louisiana cottage without talking about the porch. Whether it's a sweet wraparound number or a front stoop with rockers, a cottage-style home says, “Come sit a spell.”

Bonus: You’ll have the perfect view for neighborhood parades, crawfish deliveries, and your neighbor's rogue peacock (hey, it’s Lafayette—we’ve seen it all).

Efficient Layouts That Live Large

Just because cottage-style homes are cozy doesn’t mean they’re cramped. At Andries Builders, we design every inch of your custom cottage floor plan to work hard. We’re talkin’:

  • Built-in storage for all your Mardi Gras decor
  • Thoughtfully placed bedrooms for privacy and convenience
  • Flowing hallways that actually make sense (no labyrinth vibes here)

It’s like the tiny house movement met Southern luxury—and they got along really well.

Charm That’s 100% Customizable

The beauty of a cottage-style home is that it’s instantly adorable. But with Andries Builders, we take that charm and make it uniquely yours. Want exposed wood beams? Done. Dreaming of a farmhouse sink that can hold a gumbo pot? You got it. We work with you to blend function with your personal flair—down to the door hardware.

Your home, your rules. Cottage-style just gives you the coziest canvas to start with.

Perfectly Suited for Southern Lots (Even the Tricky Ones)

Let’s face it—building in Lafayette sometimes means odd-shaped lots or soil that’s a little more… moody. Cottage-style homes, with their compact yet impactful footprint, are a fantastic fit for all kinds of property challenges. And our team at Andries Builders knows how to make the most of your land—no square foot left behind!

Built for Generations, Not Just Instagram

Yes, your cottage-style custom home will look gorgeous on your feed. (We’ll even help you pick a paint color that pops.) But more importantly, it’ll live well for years to come. These homes are designed to be functional, comfortable, and timeless.

Because trends are fun… but comfort never goes out of style.

Cozy Comfort Floor Plan

If you’re craving a home in Lafayette that feels like a fresh-baked biscuit and looks like a Southern dream, a cottage-style floor plan by Andries Builders is calling your name. We combine thoughtful design, Southern charm, and custom touches to give you a home that’s as unique and loveable as a baby gator in a bonnet (okay, maybe more loveable).
