Ayfraym DIY Cabin

Ayfraym is a new creation by Everywhere Travel Co. These guys are notorious for their transportable homes but now they want to make it easier for you to build your own, selling you the plans to a neat 1,574-square-foot cabin. It uses a construction kit that includes everything you’ll need, really everything, from the simple hammer, to a door knob, to the more complex and modern digital plans, except the raw materials themselves. All the blueprints and material specifications needed to put it together are included in a cardboard box. They come both on a flash drive in PDF format and printed on 36-by-24-inch sheets. The design is a beautiful A-frame house, a building type that became wildly popular in the 60s as secondary vacation houses. The project when finished provides a house of around 1600 sq. Feet, with multiple walking decks, large windows and exposed wood beams along with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. You can buy the plans and build it yourself, or hand them off to the contractor of your choosing.

At the heart of the redesign is a sculptural staircase that opens up a double-height void, filling the home with natural light. French doors connect the liv...

This 80s Beach House Was Transformed Into a Seamless Ocean Retreat

Renovations often try to overwrite what is already there. Angra House by Arthur Casas takes a more measured approach, working with the original structure to create something that feels more open, more connected, and better suited to how the house is actually used. Originally built in the 1980s, the L shaped volume remains intact, but almost everything around it has been reconsidered. Facades were opened up, windows replaced with wider openings and balconi...
