Henry David Thoreau once wrote, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” Every great cabin starts with a vision—and the right plan to bring it to life. Explore our cabin plans today and take the first step toward your dream.

Thoughtful Design. Real-World Experience.

One-Five Design was created to provide clear, practical building plans rooted in real construction experience — not trends, shortcuts, or guesswork.

Every plan is developed with efficiency, durability, and buildability in mind. That means straightforward layouts, clear structural logic, and drawings that respect how projects are actually built in the field.

These plans are not step-by-step instructions. They are architectural drawings intended for builders and capable DIYers who want to understand their project, make informed decisions, and build with confidence.

Whether you’re planning a small cabin, a weekend retreat, or a long-term project, the goal is the same: fewer surprises, better outcomes, and a building process that feels manageable from start to finish.

Not Sure Where to Begin?

If you’re still in the planning stage — or just want a clearer picture before choosing a plan — these resources can help you move forward with confidence.

Field Notes

Field Notes is a growing collection of short articles drawn from real design and building experience.

These pieces explore how cabins are planned, how drawings are intended to be used, and where projects often go sideways — with the goal of helping you make better decisions before construction begins.

If you enjoy understanding the why behind the design, Field Notes offers a deeper look into the thinking that informs every One-Five Design plan.
