Have you guys heard of Ross Chapin Homes? I was looking at Hooked on Houses last night and was prompted to look for architects designing modern cottages (hoping they existed, in case DH and I can build someday). In my googling, I came up with:

Ross Chapin Architects

I think I could happily live in many of the small homes, but the Elderberry and Plum Corner are my favorites (we hope to have kids and would need the space).

The best part is the details! I've always loved the built-ins of old homes. These have much of the charm of older homes with layouts more suited to modern sensibilities. The "Pocket Neighborhood" concept is neat, too. I hope it catches on! What do you think? Which, if any, would you want to live in?
