Why are small house plans with a porch so popular? There are many reasons why homeowners are drawn to the charm and functionality of a wrap-around porch. From creating a welcoming entrance to expanding outdoor living space, this architectural feature has been a staple in American homes for centuries. We are going to explore the collection of unique small house plans by PinUp Houses that are perfectly tailored for DIY builders.
Tiny House
What is a shed house? Legally, the shed is a small, simple structure typically built in a backyard for storage, recreation, or as a workspace. The International Building Code (IBC) defines a shed as “a building or structure of an accessory character.” For this reason, most areas classify sheds as “accessory structures,” meaning they’re meant for storage, not for living. Thus, to turn a shed into a shed house, you’ll need to reclassify it as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or tiny home, which requires meeting specific building codes. For this collection, we focus on unique and affordable plans that can serve as a backyard shed or rustic weekend cabin suited for glamping. Also, always check with local building codes before starting any project.
