Today's featured small space is a carriage house located in the Pacific Northwest. Traditional Living Room by Seattle Architects & Building Designers AKJ Architects LLC Welcome to the fifty-fourth post in the series "Living Large in Small Spaces". Historically speaking, a carriage house is an outbuilding, used to house horse-drawn carriages, the horses and related tack. At times the carriage house -- also called coach house -- has included living quarters above for the staff who cared for the carriages and horses. This one-bedroom guest house -- a recent remodel of a caretaker's carriage house, is a far cry from those old-fashioned buildings. Traditional Garage And Shed by Seattle Architects & Building Designers AKJ Architects LLC Skylights and dormer windows ensure the traditional interior is bright and inviting. Painted V-groove wainscoting adds cottage charm. Vaulted ceilings, white cabinetry and neutral walls visually expand the space. The glass front cabinets repeat the window grid design and give the illusion of more depth in the room. Traditional Kitchen by Seattle Architects & Building Designers AKJ Architects LLC Wrapping the wainscoting around the dining room gives definition to the space. The flooring is antique salvaged oak. Farmhouse Dining Room by Seattle Architects & Building Designers AKJ Architects LLC A sitting area in the bedroom provides a cozy spot for relaxing. Traditional Bedroom by Seattle Architects & Building Designers AKJ Architects LLC Or sit at the desk and enjoy the stunning view through the window. Note that minimal window treatment throughout the home allows natural light to flow into the rooms and brings the outdoors in. Traditional Bedroom by Seattle Architects & Building Designers AKJ Architects LLC The pedestal sink with cross handle faucet and tile wainscot give the bathroom a vintage look. Traditional Bathroom by Seattle Architects & Building Designers AKJ Architects LLC This is a beautiful home. It may be a guest house, but I'd have no trouble making this my permanent residence.
