Designed by CAST and built by the homeowner who is also a contractor, Beacon Hill Cedar Cottage includes the amenities and feel of a larger home. Its efficient footprint provides two bedrooms, well-daylit spaces, lots of storage, and a covered outdoor living area.

Bathed in sunlight, a generous central area includes the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Carefully placed large windows and glass entry doors flood the area with light that bounces off the white walls to make it feel larger than its square footage. The open glass doors and deep eaves create a vibrant indoor/outdoor living experience.

The durable Japanese cypress exterior is treated using the traditional Shou Sugi Ban technique, ensuring both beauty and natural resilience.

Green Design: Energy-efficient heating, cooling, and water heating systems, passive solar heat gain in window/shading, all LED lighting, low VOC recycled and renewable materials, and no fossil fuel use appliances.
