Modern house plans & prefab kits. Built by your builder.
Browse 40+ professionally designed house plans — modern cabins, barnhouses, A-frames, ADUs, and saunas. Customize with our team. Hand the construction documents to a contractor you trust — and build something you'll be proud of.
Custom-designing a house plan costs $20K+ and takes a year before you can break ground. We've already done that work — refined across 300+ real builds — so you can buy a proven house plan, customize it with our team, and build it with a contractor you already know and trust.
How it works →Three steps from design to dream home.
The way most of our 12k+ customers do it: pick a design they love, customize it with our team, then build it with a local contractor.
Confirm feasibility before you commit.
Every DEN project starts with the $999 Feasibility Package. We review your land, draft a preliminary site plan, deliver a turnkey project pricing estimate, and meet for a 60-minute working session — so you know exactly what's possible before spending more. Your full $999 credits forward to whatever you build next.
Start with Feasibility →Choose your design and your path.
With clarity in hand, pick a design from our 40+ modern cabins and homes — and decide how you want to build. Hand the plans to your local contractor with a $1,999 Building Package, or order a complete Prefab Kit engineered and delivered to your site. Your $999 credits forward to either path.
Build with confidence.
Whether your contractor is framing from scratch or assembling a prefab kit, you'll have everything they need: construction documents, CAD files, materials lists, and a Build Advisor on call. Most DEN homes finish in under a year — half the time of a traditional custom build.

★★★★★
DEN Outdoors was the perfect solution for our building needs. The designed plans were easy to understand and hand over to our builder. We made some modifications along the way and the response to the final product has been spectacular. We built the A Frame 2.2 and had such a positive experience that we decided to build the L Barnhouse and Modern Loft cabin. Highly reccomend to anyone looking to build!
★★★★★
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!
★★★★★
DEN’s detailed plans took the guesswork out of building my perfect cabin in the woods.
★★★★★
When DEN came out with the Barnhouse Plus, it was exactly the design we needed, and it was also unique enough to diversify our build from the other short-term rentals in the area.
★★★★★
I looked at several different A-Frame companies and spent a lot of time trying to decide which one to go with. DEN had the best style and the best all-in package, for sure. I’d describe the brand as modern, stylish, natural, and, in terms of the final product, ahead of its time.
★★★★★
On a scale of 1-10, from a customer service perspective, 10 all around and A+.
★★★★★
I’m glad I chose DEN. The plans are beautiful and DIY friendly. I just wish I could build them all!
★★★★★
I would say using the DEN plans was much faster and cheaper than going through an architect for a custom set of plans.
★★★★★
It’s a dream. Going the route of a traditional build using plans from DEN has proven to be the simplest & most affordable approach, as well as the easiest to get permitted.
★★★★★
Regardless of whether you're building a DEN as designed or just using their resources as a jumping off point for a custom build, Mike and his team are incredibly responsive and collaborative.
★★★★★
I bought a Den plan, took it to my building dept. and was able to start my build 3 days later!
