Come As You Are

A guest cottage with a personality all its own, this colorful retreat brings together Scandinavian simplicity and British country charm with a healthy dose of whimsy. Designed to offer all the comforts of a separate home, the cottage provides flexible sleeping arrangements, privacy from the main residence and a screened-in porch for enjoying the outdoors. Our studio thoughtfully considered every detail, from finishes and fixtures to furnishings and the final decorative layers, creating a space that feels both functional and full of character. Unexpected color combinations, playful patterns and a mix of traditional and modern elements bring warmth and individuality to every room, with the bathrooms offering particularly memorable design moments. The result is a welcoming, self-sufficient retreat that makes hosting feel effortless and gives guests a special place to call their own.
