The McKnight is a Classic Villa with a more traditional sense of formality and separation. A defined entry foyer creates a clear arrival moment before the main living areas come into view, giving the plan a composed, welcoming feel. For homeowners who appreciate rooms that are more clearly outlined yet still connected, the McKnight offers a familiar, comfortable way to live on one main level.

The Plan
The Plan
The McKnight opens with a long, defined foyer that gently leads you into the main living areas rather than revealing them all at once. This creates a more traditional sense of entry and gives the villa a composed, welcoming character. The kitchen is centered within the plan, connecting to a formal dining area on one side and a more intimate breakfast space behind it, offering different ways to gather throughout the day.
A separating hallway provides a clear distinction between the main living spaces and the primary bedroom area for those who prefer more defined rooms. The staircase runs parallel to the street and turns at the lower landing, creating a natural transition to the lower level.

How the Plan Lives
The McKnight lives with a sense of order and definition that many homeowners find reassuring. Rooms feel distinct yet connected, with the foyer, dining room, kitchen, and breakfast area each offering their own sense of place. This plan often appeals to those who appreciate the comfort and tradition of clearly outlined spaces.
While the McKnight may feel more intimate at first glance, its spaces are thoughtfully proportioned and designed to live comfortably day to day. The lower level provides additional opportunities for living, entertaining, or storage, and can be finished in ways that support the way you prefer to use your home.
Expansion Example
This expansion example shows how the McKnight can grow with additional living, kitchen, and breakfast space. The gathering areas can be extended to create a larger everyday living zone while maintaining the plan’s traditional character and defined rooms. Expansion options vary by community and homesite.
