Exemplifying a minimalist design sensibility, Cattail Cottage is a timeless example of sustainability brought full circle by doing more with less. Aspiring to a modernistic aesthetic on a modest budget, the clients desired a super-efficient space within a grandfathered footprint of 987 square feet. The breathtaking lake perspective was enhanced by a simple palette of natural materials, some reused from the existing cottage, punctuated with accents of vibrant colors. Reclamation, reuse, and restriction became the hallmarks of this project.
