Inspired by the natural landscape and timeless forms, these homes blend bold, modern design with classic charm—each thoughtfully crafted to maximize space, light, and connection to the outdoors. From the cozy compression of entryways that open into vaulted ceilings and expansive views, to compact footprints that fit effortlessly into their settings, every residence offers unique spaces for gathering, solitude, and living fully. Whether it’s the modern reinterpretation of a vintage cottage, the dynamic flow of a barn-inspired profile, or the All American cottage nestled among the trees, these homes celebrate both community and sanctuary in harmonious balance.

All-American

This unique, compact two-story modern cottage fits seamlessly into tight spaces. The All American, at 1,500 square feet, features soaring cathedral ceilings in the main living area, while the bedrooms nestle among the trees.

Barn Burner

The barn burner embodies one of the most straightforward forms in residential architecture. This modern interpretation at 1450 square feet, reimagines the barn’s simplicity, offering a fresh perspective on space and living. The front door compresses the entry, heightening the sense of expansiveness upon entry, where vaulted ceilings and expansive glazing open up to the landscape beyond.

Family Flow

This straightforward design creates a horizontal arrangement of rooms in a 2,100-square-foot residence that offers abundant views—from vaulted spaces overlooking the street to your own vegetative sanctuary off the rear of every room. The open family flow embraces an expansive, easygoing lifestyle.

Fire Line

This bold, undulating profile echoes the rhythms of the surrounding landscapes. At 1,750 square feet, the fire line unfolds in layers, each space offering a distinct mood—welcoming the bustle of gathering or the hush of solitude.

Rock Solid

A nod to the timeless Sears Roebuck cottage, this 1,300-square-foot residence. Rock solid is reinterpreted for modern living, with clean lines and a design that invites the outdoors in.

Smugglers Run

This quaint 1,000-square-foot A-frame compresses at the entrance, then expands into a light-filled sanctuary. Past the threshold of the smugglers run, the wooded hills unfold into view, immersing you in the landscape’s quiet beauty.

Summary

This intimate residential development brings together a collection of small, thoughtfully designed homes that marry rustic warmth with contemporary sensibilities. Each house plan prioritizes spatial efficiency without sacrificing comfort—using smart layouts, built-in storage, and visual openness to create a sense of volume within a compact footprint.

Varying plans and elevations lend the neighborhood an organic, village-like rhythm, while shared materials and cohesive detailing unify the whole. Light-filled interiors open to private courtyards and framed views, drawing the natural surroundings inward. These homes celebrate the essentials—clarity, calm, and meaningful connection to place.
