Pattern Book Homes for 21st Century Michigan

This resource offers home builders free construction plans for multi-family housing using designs modeled after popular kit homes built during the state’s housing boom in the early part of the 20th century. The Pattern Book includes a toolkit to help communities modernize their zoning codes to allow for more multi-family construction that can fit seamlessly into the existing neighborhoods across the state. The Pattern Book Homes plan will help speed up the development of more housing units without expanding into open green space while also reducing construction costs and was made possible by a partnership between the Michigan Municipal League and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. This book also includes two nearly complete construction plan sets that may be freely reproduced:

  • Two-home model: “The Linden"
  • Four-home model: “The Grove”
