Project Description: This artist's cottage, designed for a contemporary painter, combines rustic charm with modern sustainability. The exterior features Shou Sugi Ban siding - a traditional Japanese technique that preserves wood through charring, giving the structure a distinctive, textured look that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Large windows and skylights flood the interior with natural light, creating an inspiring workspace for creativity. Equipped with solar panels and energy-efficient mini-split HVAC units, this cottage is both eco-friendly and comfortable year-round, blending artistry, functionality and sustainability.
