A Small Guest House

To accommodate their growing family, our clients requested we design a small guest house that evokes the sensibility and modesty of the Shingle Style beach cottages and post-war worker houses native to the neighborhood. Our design is simple and understated with materials like the thick Alaskan yellow cedar shingles and the pebble dash stucco chimney and water table giving the home texture, patina and scale. Generously sized windows provide plenty of natural light and views of the expansive landscape.
