Nimbria

Slim 30‑ft urban home, 2 bed/2 bath, porch‑forward, efficient and permit‑ready for Texas.

Overview

Nimbria is a slim, city-lot home tailored to a 30‑ft width, blending porch‑forward charm with an efficient, open interior. Targeted at 800–953 sq ft, it prioritizes smart circulation, clear drafting for a quick turnaround, and a clean, cabinet-forward kitchen swap in place of a dishwasher—ready to move from concept to permit with minimal friction.


Client Type

Nimbria fits owners seeking a compact, budget-conscious custom home that maximizes a narrow parcel. It supports everyday living with two bedrooms, two baths, and an open kitchen‑living core, plus a front porch presence that adds curb appeal without excess footprint.


Project Scope

The Nimbria project delivers a permit‑ready Texas set on an urgent 2–3 week timeline. The architectural program includes:

  • Two bedrooms and two bathrooms in a right‑sized layout

  • Open‑concept kitchen and living area

  • Front elevation revised to a level face with a porch

  • Kitchen adjustment replacing the dishwasher with continuous cabinetry

  • Plan footprint optimized to 28–30 ft wide and up to 45 ft long

  • Full drafting deliverables: floor plan, elevations, electrical, plumbing, mechanical (basic), roof, foundation/slab edge, framing, cross‑sections, site plan, city redline support at no charge


Challenges Addressed

  • Achieving comfortable rooms within a 30‑ft maximum width

  • Meeting an accelerated schedule while preserving clarity and quality

  • Coordinating efficient MEP layouts in a compact envelope

  • Aligning a porch‑forward elevation with budget and build simplicity


Goals Achieved

✔️ Narrow‑lot plan that feels open and livable

✔️ Clear documentation path for quick permitting in Texas

✔️ Cabinet‑forward kitchen solution with simplified maintenance

✔️ Porch‑centric curb appeal within tight setbacks

✔️ Reusable plan logic suitable for multiple nearby parcels

✔️ Streamlined revisions with city correction coverage

AutoCad

Nimbria refines narrow‑lot living into a bright, efficient plan with porch‑front character and clear, buildable detailing. Designed for a fast path to permit, it balances two beds, two baths, and an open core within a 30‑ft width, swaps the dishwasher for storage, and includes full city‑redline support—ready for repeatable use across parcels.
