Tour a Garden Cottage Designed for Low-Impact Living
Set among existing gardens, the home that won our 2013 Best Small House Award relies on shared spaces and connections to the outdoors to seem larger than its physical boundaries.
Our award for the best small home for 2013 went to Nir Pearlson for this 800-sq.-ft. secondary dwelling in Eugene, Ore. Set towards the back of a large downtown lot, the third-party-certified green house was designed to be durable, low maintenance, and energy efficient, and to complement a sprawling existing garden.
