Eastside cottage
Located in the charming Eastside Costa Mesa neighborhood, the project enhances the original single-story cottage through a carefully integrated addition that expands the home’s livable square footage and introduces covered outdoor space. Rooted in cottage-style architecture, the design incorporates a layered palette of horizontal siding, shingles, shutters, and traditional detailing, creating a timeless and cohesive expression. Thoughtfully conceived as a long-term residence, the home is designed to support the family’s evolving lifestyle and serve as their place to settle into for decades to come.
