VIDEO: 2012 HOUSES Awards – Best Small Home

By Official Fine Homebuilding Post

Best Small Home of the Year: Matt Hutchins of CAST Architecture

Our award goes to Matt for the backyard cottage he designed in Seattle, Wash. In only 800 sq. ft. of living space, he created a comfortable home filled with daylight and rich in detail. The small house feels spacious, encourages outdoor living, and is a premier example of an alternative housing opportunity emerging in the Pacific Northwest.

    would be nice to see the total floor plan, bathroom layout. 800 sqft on two floors? 1 bedroom only? storage? heating/hw place? crawlspace/basement?
