Every detail in the small cottage has been thought out and is well furnished and surprisingly spacious for its 350 square feet of space. The tiny house is just far enough away from the main house and is very private. The owners designed this small cottage plan themselves, and it took over a few years to design and build. The overall concept of the tiny house design started with the red metal fireplace that is in the center of the space. The small cottage plan was built around it.

Unique Features and Natural Light

There is plenty of natural light throughout the small cottage plan even in the shower and water closet. The eyebrow windows in the tiny house are especially unique and are antique. Atop the cupola on the roof of the small cottage plan is a nod to the owner's dear departed West Highland Terrier, Jed who loved this space in the yard. There is a hand-hammered copper weathervane with a 24-carat gold collar, engraved Jed. The small cottage porch is either lighted by carriage lights, or by downlights.
