Everything your builder needs

A complete 27-sheet set — drawings, not a sketch.

The math

A custom architect set runs $3,000–$8,000. You're getting a design that's already been built.

No design risk, no revision rounds, no waiting. These are the working drawings the cabin in the film was built from — yours to build anywhere.

Before you buy

The questions everyone asks.

What exactly do I get, and how? +

A 27-sheet PDF construction set — architectural, structural, foundation, electrical, plumbing, ceiling, roofing, two sections and construction details — delivered to your inbox the moment you pay. Dimensions are metric; sheets are labeled in English.

How big is it? +

Two levels: roughly 36 m² of interior space — an open kitchen and living area below with a mezzanine bedroom above — plus a covered deck of about 13.8 m².

Is there a bill of quantities or cost estimate? +

No. The set is the drawings. It includes a material designation legend, but not quantities or a budget. For real-world numbers, grab the free cost-breakdown guide — it walks through what the cabin actually cost to build.

Can I build this outside Costa Rica? +

Yes — the design is location-independent, and the set includes foundation plans for both a flat and a sloped lot. Have a local engineer confirm foundation depths for your soil, and check permitting in your area before you break ground.

Metric or imperial? +

Metric (meters and centimeters), with all sheets labeled in English.

What's left for me to choose? +

Finishes, cladding and roofing material, appliances, the A/C unit and the water heater. The plans show the spaces and locations for each — you pick the products to suit your budget and site.

Stop rewatching. Start building.
