Excerpt via our website ` "This little cottage was designed and built for storage and gardening purposes. A sanctuary away from the main house, set among big white pines, close to the perennial gardens. Clients have reported spending evenings on the porch sipping red wine and watching wild turkeys forage in the fields. The building is essentially an 8×12 saltbox with an added four-foot porch. A dormer is attached to the front and extended out over the porch. The additional gable detail enhances the design and adds character and charm by breaking up the rooflines. Four opening barn sash windows, a single 3’ door and a workbench give this cottage its uniqueness. The building in the picture has been finished off with special touches; including optional white cedar shingle siding and a set of stairs to compensate for the slope of the site. This cottage would make a great backyard retreat, bunkhouse, or special hide away." Available as diy plans ($50), cabin kits, or fully assembled.

Austin and Patti created this wonderful backyard cottage together stripped down to the essence of what they value most. Their new dream house just happens to be located in the back yard of Austin's long time residence. This cottage lives large providing an open floor plan with a 2nd floor master suite and office and a gracious kitchen for Austin, a former restaurateur. A rooftop deck looks out over the treetops giving a sense of connection to the outdoors where they are often to be found when they are not at home biking, skiing or kayaking.

A combination of wood soffit and exposed floor joists add richness and a feeling of openness to the living and dining rooms in this small backyard cottage. These areas open directly onto the alley and parking pad so frosted glazing was used to provide privacy while allowing in the maximum amount of light. The primary heat source is radiant heat in the concrete floor. Bruce Parker, microhouse
