THE FAMILY

This 2-story cottage is just under the maximum allowable square footage for a backyard cottage in Seattle. The design efficiently focuses the bathrooms and kitchen in the center of the floor plan, while leaving the rooms on either side open to varying, flexible arrangements. The living room could become a spare bedroom, and the dining space could then encompass both living and dining. The location of the main entrance can be determined based on the preferred use of the ground floor spaces.
