New England Cottage First Floor
A relocation of public and private spaces
Space Findings
The kitchen is the primary entry point and the central hub.
Living spaces were disjointed, making bedrooms and bathrooms exposed and poorly positioned.
Design Priorities
Linked entertaining spaces: kitchen, dining, deck, and living
One bedroom suite on first floor
Constraints
Minimal construction, including wall and plumbing relocation
Space Improvements
In this design, we made minimal adjustments to enable:
A larger kitchen that directly engages dining and living spaces
Privacy for all sleeping and bathroom needs
Central circulation and light
Clear segmentation of public and private spaces
