This unique small home in Gualala, California
was designed by architect Cathy Schwabe. The photos in this post were
taken by Charles Miller and David Wakely. They originally appeared in
Fine Homebuilding Magazine published by The Taunton Press, Inc.
I'm not sure that the average person looking at this home would guess that it's only 800 square feet. To me it appears that the strategies employed by the architect to create a sense of spaciousness within such a small footprint were very successful.
The main interior space has a shed roof, 14 feet high at its peak, and is flooded with daylight through large windows and glass doors on all four sides
The varied wood types used for the floors, walls, and cabinetry blend harmoniously.
The one and only bathroom doubles as the laundry room, and features slate flooring.
The slate floored entry hall doubles as a mudroom with a big, chunky bench. It provides direct access to the bathroom, study, and main living area.
Here's the floor plan for this very nice 800 square foot home. The drawing was created by Martha Garstang Hill.
