Given the current global health crisis, it is perhaps not surprising that peace and mindfulness was the overarching theme for this new build. A cottage that was meant to be a place for the occupants to enjoy the calm and beauty of nature, and provide relief from city living. This cottage offers a modern approach with sensitive roots.

Relying on the beauty of the materials, the palette is clean and straightforward; stone, metal, sleek hardware, wood ceilings and flooring all married to deep green millwork, while the island makes a striking impact in black. It's a host’s dream come true. The built-in prep and bar station can transition to party central in no time.

For the client, time spent at the cottage is all about guests feeling welcome and comfortable. Making things easier was perfectly aligned with the client's philosophy, “But First Coffee”! Open the coffee station pocket doors and select from the daily offerings with all the essentials. Then, close the doors and keep everything out of sight.

The bright and airy cottage breathes oxygen, and so will its occupants. You'll want to kick back, relax and breeze through a summer day surrounded by nature’s beauty.
