Not sure where to start? Here is how to find your way around.
- House Plans — browse the full catalog and find a home design you like.
- Building Guide — read up on how your house actually gets built, including how the cost is calculated.
- About Us — who we are, and how we work together to make your project happen.
- Sustainability — the ethos behind every house: design for people, build for nature.
Step 2:
Get the Study Plans Package to kick off the project
Rather than spend thousands just to figure out a house design, the study set gives you an affordable, earliest-stage drawing package so you can start moving on your project immediately.
With the study plans in hand you can:
- Get detailed cost estimates
- Take the plans to your bank for an appraisal
- Talk to local builders about how the design fits your site, and what foundation type it needs
- Get quotes from three different builders and compare them
- Go through the design in detail and decide what you want to change — it is always better to change it on paper than on site with a hammer and concrete
Every study set includes Deta Studio, our built-in software: sketch directly on the plan, attach all your reference images, and use our simple built-in cost estimate templates. It also comes with a 30-minute consultation with Chloe to look over everything with you.
Step 3:
Get the Building Plans Package — permit and build
The building plans include CAD files and a detailed PDF drawing package for construction.
We have a network of local engineers we can connect you with, matched to your project's design and your local jurisdiction. Our drawings have a 100% permit success rate.
Every package also includes Deta Studio, so you can review the drawings in detail and collaborate with your local builder, engineer and designer. It comes with a detailed itemized cost sheet to help you kick off construction as soon as possible — coming soon.

Consultation
Get a second opinion from our designers.
- A second opinion on a renovation you are planning
