The Cottage
These owners had a unique idea of how to get out of debt. It involved selling their house in town and using the equity from the sale to build on an affordable acreage lot, what I refer to as a "tiny home on steroids". The intended final use of this building is an Accessory Dwelling Unit. I took the owner's design and made it code compliant, and added just enough detailing to the exterior to bring the look to a place somewhere between "simple" and "fancy". The interior space was designed to take advantage of every nook-and-cranny, providing storage or sleeping quarters wherever they would fit. It has a 448 s.f. footprint, and 157 s.f. Loft. It serves its purpose well, as intended, and has provided a "tiny home" living experience for a family of 6.
"Carl was fabulous to work with. We did a major home renovation that was extensive, basically designing a new house. We started with a 2,800 square foot house, demolished 1,500 square feet and ended up with a 4,100 square foot home. This is the fourth house I have built and Carl is head and shoulders above any Architect that I have worked with in the past. He is a great listener, has wonderful ideas, hits his timelines, and produces a product that sailed through the permitting process successfully the first time. It was a pleasure working with Carl and he made the process a true partnership!! Definitely a 5 Star Architect!!!"
