A GRANDMOTHER’S MODERN BACKYARD COTTAGE | MICROHOUSE
Those factors drove much of the design by architect Bruce Parker of microhouse, a Seattle firm that specializes in backyard cottages. He placed the cottage to one side of the yard so as not to block views from the main house, and put the living room on the downhill end. The bedroom and bathroom are at the other end with the kitchen in the middle.

The living room has a raised ceiling but there is a loft space over the kitchen and bedroom. Sylvia uses the loft as a music studio and a playroom for her granddaughter, though it could easily be a second bedroom. There seems to be adequate headroom for standing, at least on the side where the sloped ceiling is higher. The total floor space comes to 650 ft2 (60.4 m2). The cottage is topped by a pair of shed roofs having a low pitch to match the roof on the 1950s modern house at the front of the site.

To reduce the home’s overall height, the ground floor walls under the loft were reduced to 7’ tall instead of the usual 8’. By designing an open ceiling with exposed floor joists, the architect was able to recover most of the lost ceiling height. The raised ceiling in the adjacent living room also balances the lower one in the kitchen.
A pantry wall in the kitchen provides abundant storage, eliminating the need for upper cabinets. That left the wall free for a big window over the sink, and keeps the compact kitchen from feeling confined.
Enjoy your new week!
