INFO
“The Live Work” is a 2-story cottage that provides enough space for a small garage or an independent space that can accommodate a home office, a fitness area, or an art studio/workshop.
Inspired by Pacific Northwest fire lookouts and by the atmosphere of a tree house, the second story living areas open to a panoramic view of the surroundings and to the lush tree tops of Seattle, without jeopardizing privacy.
As a garage house, the upper floor is used as a studio unit. As a live/work house, the ground floor is shared between a flexible work space and a bedroom suite, freeing up the upper level for social space.
The square plan, the location of the service and circulation cores on two opposite ends, and the open floor plan provide a wide variety of possibilities for car access and window placement.
The glazing area may be adapted to different budget and site conditions.
