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.

The house is built onto an upslope lot, therefore the main living spaces which open onto the backyard are located on the upper floor which is accessed via a short run of stairs. To make the rather compact space appear more spacious, double doors were substituted for the original single width opening. A glass banister and a picture window above the door provide see-through surfaces. The chandelier which hangs from the newly vaulted ceiling adds a dramatic touch to this entryway. .

What was previously a series of smaller spaces was converted into substantial great room which features seating and dining areas as well as the kitchen. To convey a feel of openness, as with the entryway, the ceiling was vaulted. The original narrow sliders were replaced by a 12 ft multi slide door system from Fleetwood which leads to the newly landscaped rear yard.

The existing fireplace was preserved. A contemporary gas insert was integrated while the masonry chimney was clad with large sophisticated tile pieces. The door to the left leads into a home office which could serve as a sixth bedroom.

This vanity was bought from a big box store but has some nice lines and the integrated towel holders on the chamfered corners make this piece look more expensive.
