A preview design you can take to your airpark
A Dutch Houses preview design is a set of concept drawings for one model and one roof style, delivered as a PDF. It shows the floor plans of the hangar and the home above, the room sizes and heights, and the four elevations of the building.
Use it to check if a hangar home fits your lot, and to start the conversation with your airpark, your HOA, your county or your builder. It is a concept, not a permit set.
From plan to building
When the concept fits, we adapt it to your lot, your aircraft and the local rules in a final design: working drawings, structural calculations and a materials list. A local builder then builds it, with Dutch Houses as supplier of the steel shell parts, walls and mezzanine floor, or with equal local materials outside Europe.
Why start with a call
Most questions are about the site, not the drawing: door height, taxiway access, setback rules, HOA approval. One hour with the designer saves you from ordering the wrong plan, and it shows you the real cost path before you spend money on architects.
From a first call to a hangar home on your lot

What does the expert call cost?
The call costs €149 per hour. It takes 60 minutes, by video or phone, with Sjoerd-Jan van Klaarbergen, pilot and CEO of Dutch Houses.
What is a preview design?
A digital concept drawing of the model and roof style you choose, delivered as a PDF: floor plans of hangar and home, room sizes, heights and four elevations. It is a concept to discuss with your airpark or county, not a permit set.
Can I build a Dutch hangar house in the United States?
Yes. In the US Dutch Houses works with AeroView Design, sales agents and local builders or developers. The final design is adapted to your lot, your aircraft and local building codes.
Which model fits my aircraft?
Compare your wingspan, length and tail height with the hangar width, depth and clear door height in the table, with room to move around the aircraft. If you are not sure, that is exactly what the expert call is for.
How much does it cost to build a hangar home?
It depends on the model, the site and the finish. As a reference: at Drachten Airport the turnkey price runs from about €900,000 for a helicopter model to €1,700,000 for a turbine model, and the shell costs about 65% of that. Final design drawing packages start at €34,750.
I develop an airpark. Is there a version for rentals?
Yes. The DH 4 Studio is a Piston hangar house with four studios on the upper floor, for short stays, offices or classrooms.
