The Project:
Classic Cottages unveiled its impressive California Modern home in late December 2023. There were a lot of important architectural and design elements considered when creating this one-of-a-kind home. A bright home office with a private bath and separate command center are two of the lifestyle conveniences included on the main level. “People still want the flexibility of being able to work from home. A main-level office that can double as an in-law suite is the perfect solution. The command center, which includes a workstation and cabinetry for storage, is the appropriate drop zone for organizing daily essentials. These spaces do not have to be large to be impactful,” says Michelle Lynch, sales manager at Classic Cottages. Another architectural consideration was capturing sunlight throughout as much of the home as possible. “Facing east-west, the home’s morning sun is absolutely gorgeous as it shines through the kitchen, breakfast area, great room and luxury primary suite. Large windows and defined, open spaces were essential to achieving this goal.”
