Project Approach
The Plano Cottage project was designed with multigenerational living at its core. We collaborated with the homeowner and their family to understand the specific accessibility needs, ensuring every design decision — from door widths to countertop heights — was tailored for comfort and independence.
The construction focused on creating a warm, inviting space that doesn't feel institutional. Natural materials, abundant natural light, and a thoughtful color palette create a home-like atmosphere. The covered walkway connecting the cottage to the main house ensures safe passage in all weather conditions.
