Ficus - Semi - ID | Tartan Homes

The Ficus stands out as the largest Semi design in our collection, chosen specifically to allow buyers to walk through and fully experience its distinctive charm. While its layout may appear unconventional on paper—with the Dining Room positioned at the front, separate from the Great Room—the moment you step inside, the design’s brilliance becomes clear. The space feels open, inviting, and surprisingly expansive.

Creative use of space is at the heart of the Ficus. Its thoughtful layout accommodates full-sized furnishings without compromising flow, creating a seamless transition between rooms. This design maximizes every square foot, offering the functionality of a larger home within a semi-detached footprint.

Cohesiveness is achieved through a consistent and calming contemporary coastal aesthetic. A light, airy palette of whites, muted robin egg blues, and soft beiges is complemented by natural textures—rope and twine accents paired with concrete elements and chevron patterns—creating a unified and tranquil atmosphere throughout the home.

Innovation and unique design shine through in the Ficus’s bold decision to break from traditional layouts. By placing the Dining Room at the front, it redefines how space is used and experienced, offering a fresh take that surprises and delights visitors.

Functionality is never sacrificed. Despite its semi-detached classification, the Ficus delivers the comfort and utility of a full-sized single-family home. It checks all the boxes for modern living—ample space, smart flow, and versatile room placement—making it a strong contender even against larger single designs.

Aesthetics and appeal are immediate and lasting. From the moment you enter, the home’s serene color palette, natural textures, and open feel create a sense of calm and sophistication that resonates with today’s buyers.
