The ultimate in small space living--coming soon to Sunset!

ModernCabBLOG Small is a common theme around Sunset these days. Jess and Allison blogged about it here last week. And now, let me introduce you to the Sunset Modern Cottages by Modern Cabana. Well, let me introduce to the footprint of one of the cottages that we're building here at Sunset. This is the foundation framing for the Guest Suite cottage--a 12x25 pre-fab unit--that we'll debut at Celebration Weekend. Yes indeed, it's about 2-1/2 parking spaces wide. Inside, it will feature a kitchen, bathroom and living space. Next door there will be a 10x12 Home Office. Both spaces will be connected by a wrap-around deck.

These cottages are a great response to the times: scaling back, simplifying, being green, and using resources efficiently. Stay tuned for the construction and lots of small space ideas for your home!  Got any you want to share? Send them in!

An american clay wall would lend itself to this contemporary look.

very excited to see what this will look like. sunset used to put out some really great books on small houses back in the 70's. id like to see what the new generation of sunset designers has in store for us.
