About DEN

Good design shouldn’t be a privilege.

We make beautiful, buildable homes — and hand you a clearer, more predictable way to build them. Over 40 designs, hundreds of builds, one straightforward path from idea to move-in.

Who we are

We turned great home design into something you can actually buy.

DEN Outdoors is a modern home-design company built on a simple idea: the kind of home that usually takes a custom design firm, a fat retainer, and eighteen months of back-and-forth should be available off the shelf — designed once, beautifully, then handed to anyone with a plot of land and a vision.

We started in 2020, after our founder built a cabin he called the Fox Den and ran headfirst into how opaque, slow, and needlessly expensive the whole process was. So we productized it. Today we have 40+ proprietary designs, a platform for real-time collaboration, and homes standing across the U.S. and beyond — with a prefab kit system that turns a stack of plans into a weather-tight shell in days.

What moves us

Three things we refuse to compromise on.

A DEN interior

Beauty that’s meant to be built

Every DEN balances modern design with real buildability. We’ve engineered away the steep custom-design fees so a striking home is something you order, not something you commission.

Faster, clearer builds

Digital plans with upfront pricing. Prefab shell kits that compress the timeline and take the guesswork out of every stage. One place to choose a plan, customize it, and build — about as simple as home-building gets.

Honest, upfront, no surprises

No hidden fees, no mystery line items, no “we’ll figure out the cost later.” You see the numbers up front and know what happens at every step. Don’t take our word for it — our customers say it louder than we can.

The founder

Meet Mike Romanowicz.

Mike didn’t set out to start a company — he set out to build one cabin. The Fox Den was a personal project, and getting it made turned into a masterclass in everything wrong with how homes get designed: high fees, hazy timelines, and precious few good-looking options a normal person could actually afford.

He figured plenty of other people wanted the same thing he did — a genuinely beautiful home, without the runaround. So in 2020 he built DEN to deliver it. Five years on, DEN has sold hundreds of plans, watched dozens of builds come to life, and added prefab kits to the mix — making the whole dream more attainable than it’s ever been.

The team

A global crew that thinks outside the box.

Engineers, designers, marketers, and product people spread from Philadelphia to the Philippines. Different time zones, different backgrounds, one shared instinct: question the default, then build something better than it.

Coast to coast

Here’s where our DEN customers are.

Every pin marks DENs on the ground — thousands of plans sold into all fifty states. The clusters tell the story: New York and California, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, Texas, and a fast-growing map in between.
