Overview

Lysken is a compact, single‑story cabin distilled to essentials: a sub‑1,000 sq ft rectangle with an open living‑kitchen core and a corner pantry. Designed for a straightforward permit path, it pairs slab and roof plans with clear MEP intent and optional engineering, keeping documentation crisp for an owner‑builder timeline in Llano, California.

Client Type

Lysken suits owner‑builders seeking a simple, cost‑aware plan that’s easy to price, permit, and construct. It emphasizes legible drawings, modest systems, and a calm, efficient layout with two bedrooms and one bath.

Project Scope

The Lysken project delivers a complete permit‑ready set for a one‑story cabin:

• Under 1,000 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom

• Open living and kitchen with a corner pantry

• Slab plan and roof plan with coordinated sections as needed

• MEP intent including ceiling fans in bedrooms and living room

• Optional structural engineering stamp if required by the jurisdiction

• Foundation preference: ground screws (final engineering by others if pursued)

Challenges Addressed

• Achieving comfortable living within a compact rectangular footprint

• Packaging MEP intent clearly without over‑design

• Keeping the set flexible for a start‑anytime schedule and contractor pricing

• Allowing ground‑screw foundation preference while preserving permit clarity

Goals Achieved

✔️ Clear, compact plan tailored to a simple build sequence

✔️ Permit‑ready documentation with optional stamping path

✔️ Straightforward MEP pages sized to residential review needs

✔️ Efficient circulation and storage within a modest envelope

✔️ Clean coordination that supports fast estimating and approvals
