We believe that people can build a better life if they can build a home.
People need housing. But housing affordability has become one of the defining challenges for the next generation. After years of conversations with my own grown children and the young adults in our community, one truth became impossible to ignore: the basic family homes I spent ten years helping to design were out of reach for a generation of young adults.
Mended Oak Design & Engineering exists to help people overcome that problem.
We create buildable, affordable house plans designed to reduce construction complexity, minimize special‑order materials, and empower both DIY builders and professionals. Our goal is clear: Without sacrificing safety, quality, or beauty, we help people build the home they need.
