COTTAGE a18.02

A soft contemporary cottage on an island near Stoney Lake. The design addresses the view directly. And even though it looks quite bold there, you can hardly see it from the water. Children's bedrooms sit at ground level, with the main living spaces raised above. A separate guest cabin sits at the rear. The standout detail is the screened porch — a light, multifaceted structure held up on slender posts that the studio nicknamed the birdhouse.
