Guest houses and carriage houses that give family, guests and hobbies a home of their own

Guest Houses & Carriage Houses

A second building on the property can change how a home works. A guest house gives visitors privacy, a carriage house puts a suite above the garage, and a studio gives you a place to work or create. We design these buildings as part of the estate, echoing the main residence in materials, rooflines and proportions, while giving them their own personality.

We plan the details that make them comfortable year-round: separate heating and cooling, a kitchenette or full kitchen, a proper bath, insulation and sound control, and utilities run underground to the main house. We also handle site work, permits and the path and landscaping that connect the new building to the rest of the property.
