The 800 square-foot guest cottage is located on the footprint of a slightly smaller original cottage that was built three generations ago. With a failing structural system, the existing cottage had a very low sloping roof, did not provide for a lot of natural light and was not energy efficient. Utilizing high performing windows, doors and insulation, a total transformation of the structure occurred. A combination of clapboard and shingle siding, with standout touches of modern elegance, welcomes guests to their cozy retreat. The cottage consists of the main living area, a small galley style kitchen, master bedroom, bathroom and sleeping loft above. The loft construction was a timber frame system utilizing recycled timbers from the Balsams Resort in northern New Hampshire. The stones for the front steps and hearth of the fireplace came from the existing cottage’s granite chimney. Stylistically, the design is a mix of both a “Cottage” style of architecture with some clean and simple “Tech” style features, such as the air-craft cable and metal railing system. The color red was used as a highlight feature, accentuated on the shed dormer window exterior frames, the vintage looking range, the sliding doors and other interior elements.

Inspiration for a contemporary bedroom remodel in Austin

This bright kitchen features white cabinets with a gray island. Beautiful Quartz Master Statuario Venato engineered quartz countertops are used in both the main kitchen and bar area to provide the timeless look of marble without all of the maintenance. The backsplash tile is a simple beveled white subway tile. Gorgeous classic selections that will stand the test of time!

The airy bathroom features Emser's Craft White 3x12 subway tile on the walls and steam shower area, Casa Vita Bella's Marengo porcelain floor tiles (both from Spazio LA Tile Gallery), Kohler plumbing fixtures, a new freestanding tub and an accent shiplap wall behind the Restoration Hardware vanity.
