The Hip Cottage is an efficient yet spacious small cottage with many special features such as a vaulted living/dining room, large closets, and wide overhangs. It is great for a vacation getaway or if you simply want a nice, two bedroom residence with character.
The Hip Cottage plan is compact, yet has all the features that make for comfortable living including a separate laundry room and kitchen opening into the living spaces. Front and rear porches extend the living space to the exterior. A special feature of this design is the clerestory light well above the kitchen and living areas. Light from the clerestory bathes the vaulted ceilings and rooms below to create a cheery mood. Large overhangs protect the interior from direct sunlight.

In comparison to the standard Hip Cottage plan, this version with an attached garage also has a sun room in place of the screened porch. A spacious wet room that provides easy shower access is also included with glass block windows that glow of natural light.
The Hip Cottage Basement Option extends living space into a basement with access to an outdoor patio which blends this house into a sloping lot.
