Modern homes you can actually build. House plans & prefab kits.
Skip the expensive, year long custom design process. Choose a DEN design, customize it with our team, then build with a contractor you trust or order a complete Prefab Kit engineered and delivered ready to assemble.
Designing a custom home from scratch is slow and expensive. It doesn’t have to be.
We’ve already done the hard part, refining modern homes across 300 plus real builds. Choose a proven design, customize it with our team, and build with a contractor you trust. Or go prefab and get your home delivered, ready to assemble.
Three steps from design to dream home.
Start with a proven design, customize it with our team, then build with a contractor you trust or have it delivered as a prefab kit.
Confirm feasibility before you commit.
Every DEN project starts with a $999 Feasibility Package. We review your land, draft a preliminary site plan, provide a turnkey project estimate, and meet for a 60 minute working session so you know exactly what’s possible before spending more. Your full $999 is credited toward your project.
Start with Feasibility →Choose your design and your path.
With clarity in hand, choose from 40 plus modern cabins and homes, then decide how you want to build. Purchase a $1,999 Building Package to work with a local contractor, or order a complete Prefab Kit engineered and delivered to your site. Your $999 is credited toward either path.
Build with confidence.
Build with a contractor you trust using DEN’s plans, or skip the framing and order a Prefab Kit engineered, fabricated, and delivered to your site with shell assembly in 5 to 15 days. Either path includes construction documents, materials lists, and a Build Advisor on call. Most DEN homes are completed in under a year.

I just finished my build last fall
I just finished my build last fall (I built the Barnhouse Retreat!) and had such a great experience building with my DEN plans. I cannot say enough about Mike and his team. The designs are clean, stylish and efficient and also super easy to revise during the building process. The house turned out so much better than I could have hoped for.
Couldn't love DEN more
We have been really impressed with DEN, ever since we started our first construction project in 2023 with their A-Frame 2.2 model. Since then, we have built two further DEN models and continue to be impressed with the quality of their plans and the ease of dealing with the company. Highly recommend, especially for anyone looking to build a cabin for the first time.
DEN Outdoors three project packages
DEN Outdoors three packages available provide flexible assistance for a building project. Their Planning Package, Building Package, or consideration to use the Prefab Package give great check points to validate time to complete and budget projections.
Practical process and good experience
Beautiful designs, simple, elegant, and thought through. Flexible purchase process too. We switched designs part way through and this was not an issue, because preliminary and final designs are separate. Separating this for purposes of shopping around vs final design are useful for a first time home building experience.
ALL YOU NEED IS DEN Outdoors
The plans were incredibly detailed and provided everything my builder needed. The ongoing customer service from DEN was always responsive and very helpful. The finished product is beautiful!
Mike is so thoughtful
Mike is so thoughtful and the team is a pleasure to work with. We are so excited to bring home to life with the DEN team.
