THE Pine series are our mid-level garages, for when you need a double car detached garage or a classy looking shop or storage space. The Pine will fit in comfortably with a footprint of 20 feet wide and 20 feet deep. The 'A' is 24x24 feet and comes with double 8 foot wide garage doors plus a 336sf bonus room upstairs.

For maximum use of minimum space consider the Pine B. If the Pine brothers were Italians, 'B' would be named Guido. Guido has been stretched out to 32' deep. Two cars will easily fit inside, plus a shop or small host of 'projects'. Upstairs is a 500sf apartment or meetin' room. A bathroom is outfitted as well as spaces for a kitchen and bed.

All garages are framed with 2x4 walls for maximum floor space. If you preferred to stick frame the roof of the Pine you could gain extra storage in the rafters. You might also inquire of your truss company about using attic style trusses. You might have limited headroom, but you could get your Christmas decor out of sight and throw it up above. The roofs are 12:12 pitch, but of course you can change that to suit your needs.

This plan is sold with a slab style foundation included. If you need to modify to a suspended garage, please contact an engineer local to your area.  



All plans include four elevations, floor plans, foundation plans, at least two building sections, framing plans for the second floor and/or roof, and notes and construction details. This is everything you will need to build, but may not be everything you need to get a permit. Check with your local jurisdiction. Electrical layouts, cabinet elevations and engineering are not included.

THE Pine series are our mid-level garages, for when you need a double car detached garage or a classy looking shop or storage space. The Pine will fit in comfortably with a footprint of 20 feet wide and 20 feet deep. A 16 foot garage door is specified. If space is at a premium and you would like more storage in one building, consider the Pine A. This brother to the Pine has been to the gym a few more times and eats his Wheaties. The 'A' is 24x24 feet and comes with double 8 foot wide garage doors plus a 336sf bonus room upstairs.

For maximum use of minimum space consider the Pine B.

THE Durham is named for a small city in Oregon. The town is 0.4 square miles and claims 1400 residents. In the early 1900's a local nursery planted a myriad of trees throughout the area. In the 1960's the town was formed to prevent the county from converting their idyllic green paradise into an industrial hub. Due to land use laws, the city was required to zone more than just residential and green space areas. Despite this, they have been able to keep the trees up and the industry down. We applaud Durham for their conservation efforts and desire to work with the landscape.

We feel similarly about our little plan. Designed as an accessory dwelling unit, this plan was made for a purpose. While the original sports a footprint of a mere 12 by 24 feet, we've added a 10 by 12 foot flex space for an office or extra bedroom. There's also a larger version with an attached garage.  All the comforts of home are here, as well as our trademark unique features. This time around we feature a spiral staircase. It takes less room than a conventional staircase and looks absolutely cool. We just know that you'll be able to squeeze some extra rent out of that starving college student because of it. For such a small unit, we highly recommend an on-demand water heater.

THE Houston came about as an entry idea for a contest from the city of the same name. The contest goals were simple; 3 beds, 2 bath max, optional garage, no more than 1500sf, ideal for Houston's climate and able to be built for under $99k (land not included). While we don't provide a material list or cost breakdown, a rough estimate shows that the price point was easily met, even for the expensive Northwest market.. However the Houston was designed for the balmy Gulf region, specifically as inexpensive replacement housing for Hurricane Katrina's victims.


One of the biggest problems with building rows of housing in short order is the margin for error and potential cost.  For this reason the Houston was designed on 4' increments to require as little cutting as possible.  Your foundation crew will be able to set up their forms in the morning and pour in the afternoon.  Framers could lift the walls in a day.  The roofers may take just as long.  Sheetrockers, finishers, etc. can be in and out without a shout.  Why?

First off, the 24' x 48' foundation complies with most foundation crews' 8' or 12' form boards.  Also, the footprint allows for easy stud framing, whether 16" o.c. or 24" o.c. (recommended).  Four foot increment walls means nailing up sheathing without leftovers.  Incidentally, the trusses call out an 8" heel.  This allows for the sheathing to cover wall height, a couple inches of foundation, and the remainder onto the heel.  If you're using 4'x9' sheathing, again I say, NO CUTTING!  Isn't that great?

The 8" heel in the trusses allows for full attic insulation to the edge of the wall.  This eliminates those thermal bridges that often occur on the edges of a building envelope.  Furthermore, the odd 7.5:12 pitch of the main roof allows for 18" overhangs, charm, AND a roof plane of 16'.  What's this mean?  No cutting!  Just slap down your 4x8 sheathing from ridge to gutter.  The porch roof has the same trick.

Should you need a touch more width, the Houston A was modified for 25' wide and the same material efficiency.

This is everything you will need to build, but may not be everything you need to get a permit. Check with your local jurisdiction.

THE Prescott was designed as the direct result of two lines.  Two lines that defined a roof.  To this was added the idea to create a house with an attached garage but still make the house as beautiful as possible.  To this end we tried to maintain large porches, large overhangs, and large rooms.  It's as if you step into a meager stable door only to find a complete world inside, much larger than the confines of the stable itself.

But this is no stable.


The great thing about this house is it's ambiguity.  "Wait, that's a GOOD thing?"  Most certainly!  You see, the house can face the street from either end.  The "front" in this case has a garage and a large front porch.  But maybe your lot has an alleyway.  In that case just flip the house around.  The new front has a large front porch and a simple craftsman aesthetic.  From either approach the downstairs is open and includes amenities such as a powder room and a generous pocket office.

Upstairs are the customary three bedrooms and a bathroom.  "Hold up again, one bathroom?"  Well, yes.  But if you would like two separate bathrooms upstairs we would be happy to work out another version of this plan with small bedrooms, small closets, and cramped bathrooms.  See, we think that the paradigm is shifting to the point that a single bathroom serving all bedrooms is acceptable, so long as another toilet is available in the house.  Or we could kill the dormer, add more space, and be another cookie cutter home in another cookie cutter subdivision.  No thank you.

THE Foster is a skinny little thing who was successfully removed from her conjoined twin.  Originally designed as a duo to duplex a corner lot, she branched out to find her own destiny.  At a mere 20' wide, she could saunter onto most infill lots without having to 'drop a few extra'.  Her ample porch invites you to come relax and stay a while.  Inside you'll find openness from the parlor through the dining room and into the kitchen.  A door off the dining room gives you private access to the backyard.  All amenities are on the first floor including the laundry room and the master bedroom.  This little lady can be quite elegant, but she's not so spoiled that she needs her own powder room.  Everything she needs to know in life she learned in kindergarten, including sharing with others.  Besides, one less toilet to clean means more time to spend baking a quiche.


Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bath. The loft is big enough to host an intimate Tupperware party. The cozy little study extends the usable space for the loft, or it can be cordoned off on its own. It might even make a nice little place for your inlaws to stay when they come for a week. We prefer a little pocket office ourselves.
