what is magnolia studios
Magnolia Studios creates pre-designed architectural deck plans for residential projects. Each plan is carefully drafted to provide clear proportions, practical construction guidance, and drawings suitable for permit submission.
Rather than starting from scratch, homeowners and builders can choose from a curated collection of deck designs and instantly download the full drawing set.
Built Around Your Project
Every plan in the collection is drawn with the realities of residential construction in mind.
All plans include standard materials, straightforward sequencing, and details that translate directly to site. The result is less guesswork, fewer delays, and a smoother path from approval to build day.
Magnolia Studios is dedicated to growing our collection overtime. If the plans available don't match your needs, feel free to request an addition, or check back at a later date!

The Clover is a 14′ × 14′ freestanding deck defined by a clean, square layout and a low-profile presence. A single, centered stair creates a clear point of entry, while the continuous railing and picture frame border establish a strong, balanced perimeter. The proportions are intentionally restrained, giving the design a calm, grounded character that integrates easily into a wide range of backyard conditions without overpowering the space. Its symmetry and clarity allow it to feel both structured and adaptable, providing a composed foundation for everyday outdoor use. See below for the build specs.

The Lavender is a 12′ × 16′ freestanding deck defined by an elongated rectangular layout and a low-profile presence. A single, offset stair establishes a natural point of entry, while the continuous railing and picture frame border create a clean, unified edge. The extended proportions give the design a slightly more directional feel, making it well suited for linear backyard spaces or placement along a primary axis. The geometry remains intentionally simple, allowing the deck to integrate easily into a range of site conditions without dominating the surrounding area. Its balanced composition and clear organization provide a structured yet flexible foundation for everyday outdoor use. See below for the build specs.
