Breaking Ground

The new project will begin with a ground breaking in the Spring of 2016.

New Projects Afoot

New projects are in the works.  On a more modest scale, a shed is being designed for multiple purposes:

• to store garden tools
• to enclose a small work space
• to accommodate a chicken coop

Stand by for more information soon.

The World Outside the Cottage

Cottage a Comfortable Retreat

The California location is ideal for this little house and convenient to downtown. A garden brightens the view out the kitchen windows. A quiet, shady deck is the perfect place to relax.

The New Unit

This view is from the bedroom.
















The garden from the kitchen.











The countertop, of verde ubatuba granite, covers birch cabinets.













The view from the kitchen. A ceiling curtain, normally gathered in a tieback to the left beyond the front door, is intended to separate the bedroom from the rest of the space.

A light colored ceramic tiled floor set on a diagonal aspect stays cool in summer.


















Sitting in the shade.

Here the studio cottage is viewed from the house. The orientation of the windows to the east and north ensures privacy.
