Exterior Design
This is a **single-story cottage/ADU** plan offering **600 heated square feet**.
The structure uses **2×6 framing** for the exterior walls, which enhances insulation and durability.
Roof framing is by trusses. The roof has a **primary pitch of 6:12** and a secondary pitch of **3:12** on some sections.
An inviting **30-foot-wide front porch** spans the full width of the home and gives about **180 square feet** of outdoor space.
Interior Layout
As you enter from the front porch, you walk into a bright, open-concept living area that’s directly connected to the kitchen. The layout maximizes flow and avoids wasted hallway space.
The full bathroom is centrally located for easy access from living and sleeping areas.
The two bedrooms are clustered together, offering comfort and privacy from the main living zone. Each bedroom has its own closet.

One **full bathroom** serves both bedrooms and also is accessible from the common area.
Living & Dining Spaces
