Tiny homes, cottages, and compact residential design for infill lots, rural properties, and multi generational living. Small footprint, extraordinary experience.
Designing a small home is not the same as designing a big home and shrinking it. Every decision matters more when you have less square footage to absorb mistakes. Storage, circulation, natural light, privacy - these become the whole game at 600 square feet.
David has designed compact homes for coastal infill lots, rural cabins, multi generational back yard cottages, and true tiny homes on wheels. Each one gets the same editorial attention a $2M custom home gets, because small homes deserve more care, not less.
Complete residential design services tuned for compact residential design.
Every square foot justified. Furniture layouts tested before walls are placed.
Built ins, under stair, under bed, hidden. More storage than homes twice the size.
Clerestory windows, strategic placement, light wells. Small homes should feel expansive.
Rooms that do double duty. Dining that becomes office. Murphy beds that disappear.
Which cities allow what size, where setbacks allow placement, what counts as habitable.
Outdoor living extensions, deck and patio integration, indoor outdoor flow.
Small lots have tight constraints. We walk before we sketch.
How many people, how they move through a day, what must be preserved.
Three schemes minimum. Small homes benefit from exploration.
Furniture layouts tested. Storage mapped. Light studies done.
Full drawings for the jurisdiction.
Present during framing. Small homes leave little room for error.
