Plana House is shared openly and without cost. Any contribution helps sustain the work — refining the design, developing step-by-step construction guidance, and making it possible to build and document the house in practice. Support is entirely optional, but genuinely appreciated.

Plana House is a compact timber dwelling designed to be affordable, efficient, and realistically buildable. At 42 square metres, it brings together the essential elements of a home into a clear and carefully considered form.
Built from simple timber construction using standard, off-the-shelf materials, it can be assembled by small teams, local contractors, or individuals with practical support. It sits lightly on pad foundations, remaining adaptable to different sites and climates.
The house is conceived as a starting point rather than a fixed solution. Its form is deliberately open, allowing it to be clad in locally available materials and adjusted to suit different contexts and landscapes.
Plana House emerges from a broader concern that housing has become increasingly inaccessible. It offers a buildable framework to be shared, adapted, and improved over time — an invitation to build, to participate, and to reconsider how architecture can become part of everyday life.
