Portfolio of Plans for Built-In & Storage Projects

Portfolio of Plans for Built-In & Storage Projects is a digital woodworking plan book by architect Augustus Suglia. This PDF contains 25 original designs and 95 working drawings for practical projects you can build yourself. The digital edition is available for instant download after purchase.

Originally published in 1983 by Arco Publishing, Inc., this collection was created from the syndicated column “Your Home Plans” owned by King Features. The projects focus on making better use of wasted space in ordinary homes, with clear instructions and standard-size materials.

Book Overview

Portfolio of Plans for Built-In & Storage Projects offers 25 complete plans organized by room and function. The book covers workspaces, beds and benches, desks and stowaway units, hospitality areas, and fireplaces with woodbins. Each project includes professional drawings and a materials list, plus guidance on adapting dimensions to fit existing spaces.

Designed for the moderately experienced home carpenter, the plans use standard lumber and plywood sizes. Simpler projects can be completed with basic tools, while more advanced builders can adjust details and finishes to match their home’s style.
