Contemporary Cottage for a Bachelor
Designed for the consummate bachelor, this house has a small footprint. With taller than expected ceilings and lots of views and light, the house feels expansive. Although the owner requested a traditional cottage, he preferred clean, contemporary detailing to support his modern and oriental art collections. This attitude carried over to the treatment of the exterior skin. The monochrome play of horizontal and vertical rhythms was executed in siding of Grade A, clear cedar.
Windows sandwiched between the counter and wall cabinets in the Laundry Room and open transoms above cased openings in the Foyer add notes of surprise and delight.
