Magnolia Backyard Cottage
Because of the small size of the cottage, placement of windows and natural lighting were crucial. The connection to the landscape helps make the small living room feel larger. The cottage opens up onto a patio with a nice territorial view. The cottage is orientated with the largest windows facing south where they can get the most natural light. The recessed porch allows winter sun to penetrate deep into the house while shading the windows during the summer months.
