Jim Copeland Designing - Country French Cottage on the water
Designed in 2000 to look centuries old.- Designed in 2000 to look centuries old.
This is one of my favorite projects. Under construction in September of 2001 it was designed while my clients were in Europe visiting France, England and Germany. There instructions to me before leaving were, " We want a country French cottage for our home. When they returned 30 days later the well developed concept for this home was done. We worked on the spaces and details but it was constructed largely as my original design was laid out.
My intent was that we create a design that looked like it was old and had been patched with stucco and stone over the centuries. The radius used on the eaves and the dropped gables soften the structure and give it a somewhat Whimsical feel. Hidden away on Puget Sound the original owners still reside there.
