This DIY A-frame garage merges rustic simplicity with contemporary design to show off your cars in style!

The Den Garage is a DIY garage floor plan from Den Outdoors that allows owners to build their own garage while following Den Outdoors’s blueprints.

Over the past couple of years, DIY cabin floor plans have become a hot commodity. Everyone’s hoping to build their own dream cabin in the woods and get their hands on the floor plans to take them there. With all of our attention spent on tiny cabins, our cars are missing out on some love. Coupling their expansive catalog of DIY cabin floor plans with garage floor plans, Den Outdoors released downloadable PDF files for consumers to follow and build their own garages in the same style of Den Outdoors’s cabin downloads.

Presented in three different packages, Den Outdoors has available floor plans for two-car and three-car garages. The two-car garage spans 650 square feet while the three-car garage stretches a little further, covering a total of 950 square feet. Similar to the company’s collection of cabin designs, the garages maintain that same classic A-frame structure that exudes rustic energy without compromising the structure’s geometric, contemporary appeal. Adding to the garage’s modern look, Den Outdoors outfitted each garage floor plan with weather-resistant, floor-to-ceiling windows for owners to show off their cars without fear of the elements getting to them.

Inside each garage, integrated storage units provide ample space around each car for owners to store the same items that typically remain in garages, like holiday decorations and passed-down family furniture. Under the same roof, Den Outdoors incorporated a small workroom into the floor plan with a mini-split for heating and AC so owners can work on their favorite cars even through the changing seasons.

As of now, the downloadable files only comprise floor plans and 3D models for builders to follow when constructing the garage. The Starter Package contains a PDF of the schematics needed to build the garage. The Complete Package comes with the full blueprints, including 3-D models and AutoCAD files. While Den Outdoors suspects the three-car garage will amount to around $212,325 to build, the two-car garage will cost around $145,275.

This tiny home, from the 100 huts in 100 days project, is the perfect example of modern escapism!

Since the onset of 2020’s global pandemic, those of us tired of being cooped up indoors have kept ourselves busy by searching through rabbit holes of cabin designs to find one of our dreams. Prefabricated cabins and tiny huts embrace the perfect escapist getaway, taking hold of globetrotters and homebodies alike. Incorporating their ideas into the mix, Tooke & Co., an architecture and design firm based in Manhattan Beach, continues to debut their collection of tiny huts, dubbed The Minimal Hut, through downloadable blueprints, which can be used when constructing your very own tiny hut.

With more than 50 cabin designs to peruse through and plenty more to come, interested buyers have plenty of options to find the tiny hut of their dreams. The Minimal Hut’s designs range from larger three-bedroom layouts to smaller studio spaces that can be used as saunas or even a game room or home gym. Sporting a triangular frame, Hut 053 is one of The Minimal Hut’s smaller cabin designs. Perfect angles, straight facades, and a steep apex constitute the tiny hut’s right triangular frame, allowing for a steep, pitched roof that offers high ceilings and expansive windows. On one facade, Hut 053 diffuses the boundary between the outdoors and the hut’s interior with a large, glass-pane window that stretches to each corner. Then, a slimmer, rectangular window built into the hut’s frame is placed just above ground-level on another facade.

As currently designed, Hut 053’s blueprint calls for a one-bedroom, studio layout, which includes a small kitchenette and living space with options for a wood or gas stove, floor heating, and Mini-Split for additional heating and cooling. Outside, Hut 053 comes equipped with a 256-sq deck and prospective residents can enjoy the hut’s outdoor shower. Hut 053’s geometric frame also allows for some adaptability when it comes to placing the tiny hut outdoors – with such a pointed angle, it can wiggle into any corner of the globe.

Star Wars Schematics Hawaiian Shirt Is Geeky on More Than One Level

Sometimes we have stuff to talk about that is sort of like Inception – something wrapped in something similar to itself. This Hawaiian shirt is a perfect example. You have to be a geek to wear a Hawaiian shirt to begin with, or at least over the age of 55. So the guy in the shirt is Geekception layer number one.

On top of that, this shirt has a Star Wars print making up Geekception layer number two. On close inspection, you will find schematics of AT-ATs, Walkers, and TIE Fighters with tags pointing out their parts. The shirt even has Imperial logo buttons.

Cupertino posts tweaked Apple spaceship campus plans as launch risks slipping to 2016

Cupertino posts tweaked Apple spaceship campus plans as launch day slips to 2016

Have you wanted as direct a look as possible at Apple's latest plans for its spaceship-like campus? You've got it -- although you may not be in love with the reason why. Details posted by the city of Cupertino reflect a potential delay in an environmental impact study that might not wrap up until June 2013. If the analysis takes that long, Apple may have to push back the halo-shaped office's opening until 2016, roughly a year later than expected. It's hard to be sympathetic when most of those who'll see the campus first-hand will have to wear an employee badge; even so, it's slightly disappointing to realize that the renderings and schematics at the source link may be our only only glimpse at the company's solar-powered donut for quite awhile.
