Plan Details

The main structure of this "Quonset hut" system uses metal sheets that are 10 feet long and 2 feet wide. These sheets have a modified "V" shape with curvature tailored to specific span needs. Spans are self-supporting, reaching up to 150 feet wide, and can be extended in 2-foot increments. Learn more about this innovative design in our blog.
All panels are pre-drilled, and bolts are identical. This allows for easy assembly on the ground with minimal tools. The system is perfect for remote locations, as it can be built by unskilled labor.
The design provides clear instructions for attaching sheetrock and leaving space for electrical and mechanical systems. Partial Q-panels were creatively used to add large glass expanses for better views.
Steel columns and beams, combined with a special bent plate connector, allow for overhangs. Partial concrete walls increase the height where the Quonset roof system connects.
Foundation must be completed before erecting the panels. Once in place, the basic structure is finished.
Contemporary flat roofs and angled beam supports create exterior living spaces. These elements wrap around the structure and complement its form.

What's Included

Floor Plans – ¼”=1’-0” scale floor plan indicating location of frame and masonry walls, support members, doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, cabinets, shelving, ceiling conditions and notes deemed relevant to this plan.
Exterior Elevations – All elevations at ¼” = 1’-0” scale in most cases. Some older designs may contain 1/8” scale side and rear elevations. Drawing will indicate overall configuration of home at each side view and make note of plate heights, roof overhangs, window header heights, roof pitches, materials used and extent to which they are used and enlargement of any details we feel necessary to explain the construction.
Building Sections – ¼” = 1’-0” building sections are included when there is no other reasonable way to indicate the volumetric/height conditions in the home. Most of this information can usually be determined from the exterior elevations.
Cabinet Elevations – 3/8” = 1’-0” scale elevations indicating configuration of cabinets, heights, widths, type of components used, cabinet material and finish, counter surfaces, appliances,
Framing Plans – ¼” – 1’-0” scale framing plans indicating size and spacing of members as well as bracing and blocking required for structural purposes. Local codes will most likely need to be consulted.
Foundation Plans – ¼” = 1’-0” scale foundation plans indicating location of structural walls, grade beams, reinforcing steel and structural columns. Consulting a local engineer is advisable as well as is analysis of soil conditions on site.
Electrical Plans – ¼” = 1’-0” scale schematic plans indicating location and types of electrical fixtures, switches, outlets, and how they are to be switched. Plans do not include circuiting or wire sizing. Plans will also include specialty items such as hose bibs, gas connections, location of a/c equipment, return air vents or other mechanical/electrical/plumbing items which need to be located.
