Architect John Cole created this inviting little built in daybed/couch for a cottage he designed on the coast of Maine. With square footage at a premium in the cottage he made the most of what he had with this unit which can serve as a bed or sitting area. Pull out drawers beneath add useful storage space. Sweet!

Very nice design.
I love this cottage! Is there anywhere I can look at a floor plan? What is the sq. ft.? Just what we're looking for to downsize and we live on an island where we could have a view very similar to the pictures in the Fall 2016 Fine Homebuilding magazine.
Thank you in advance....
