Ray Freeman and Doug Drape designed this small house on a remote site
as a base of operations for the design and development of a larger house on the
same site. The owners wanted to move their family to the new location, but
weren't ready to proceed with the larger project. This house will eventually
become the guest house, attached to the main house by a bridge, once the larger
house is built. |

The house was
designed to be constructed by the owner, who had little construction experience
and no help. Spans and lumber sizes were kept to a minimum to facilitate this
single-handed operation. The massing, with the central volume with side bays is
the result of this short-stick approach. The interior features living, kitchen,
bedrooms and bathrooms above, with a garage below to be used as a shop during
construction of the main residence. |
