COZY ABODE
1,400 SF
Set on a beautiful 20-acre property, this 1,400sf home was designed for a client with a tight budget and a clear vision: a comfortable, functional home with just the right amount of space.
We started with a classic ranch-style layout and reworked it to feel open and efficient—without losing the traditional feel the client loved. To make the home feel larger than it is, I designed vaulted ceilings using scissor trusses that carry through the living room and into the kitchen and dining area. This simple move brought in natural light, height, and a true sense of spaciousness, all while keeping costs in check.
With its modern farmhouse touches and practical layout, the home now feels grounded in tradition but tailored for the way the client lives today. It's a great example of how smart design can turn a modest footprint into something that feels far more generous than the numbers suggest.
