a collection of cottage plans, cabin plans, small house plans, garages, live-aboves, toolsheds, and commons buildings

We're pleased to offer this collection of selected plans. Most of these homes have been built and fine-tuned with the help of craftsman builders — or as I sometimes say, they’ve had the benefit of a “full-scale mockup”.

A small cottage can be an ideal backyard writing studio, guesthouse or honored dwelling for an aging parent. Our larger houses (small by many standards) may fit the needs for a young family or retired couple, and may be complemented by one of our garages, live-aboves or toolsheds. Developers can take advantage of plans that "dovetail" to preserve privacy in a neighborhood setting. A commons building will offer the setting for shared use, or could be the perfect poolhouse. Whatever your needs, we hope you'll find a solution here. And if not, tell us what you're looking for — we're always interested in creating good homes that fit real needs.
