Design and Planning on Fine Homebuilding

Taking Advantage of a Difficult Building Site
A compound house is joined by a bridge that threads between old fir trees.
Choosing Ductwork
The kind of ducts you use and the number and types of turns they make dramatically affect HVAC-system performance.
A Little House in the Big Woods
A roof-wide skylight brings light and drama to a small house inspired by a Pacific Northwest Indian village.
Hang up your working drawings
Trying to keep a working set of building plans orderly on a job site is almost impossible. They always fall apart and end up on the floor. I solved the problem…
Framing Curved Stairs on Site
A stud wall, not a laminated stringer, shapes these stairs.
The Hardest-Working Room in the House
In her own kitchen, a designer orders chaos by keeping the palette simple
Designing and Installing Baseboards
With stock moldings and simple milling, you can create a variety of baseboard designs, but they all require careful fitting.
Building an Efficient Fireplace

Framing Floors With I-Joists
Whether you're building a new house or remodeling an old one, engineered lumber can give you squeak-free floors with fewer callbacks.
A Primer on Heating Systems
You'll save money and stay more comfortable by matching the heating system to your climate, your house and your needs.
