This 28'x16' modern cottage floor plan delivers 610 sq ft of efficient, open living space across a ground floor and a full loft level. The main floor centers on an open living, dining, and kitchen layout with a fireplace, plus a private bedroom with closet and a full bathroom. A foyer entry and utility closet round out the ground level. The loft above is divided into a bedroom and a separate loft living area, each with 81 sq ft of usable space, connected by an open stair. Two decks totaling 245 sq ft extend the living footprint outdoors, with a front deck off the foyer and a larger rear deck adjacent to the dining area.
Built on a concrete slab foundation with wood framing, insulated walls, and energy-efficient windows, this cottage is designed for year-round comfort in a wide range of climates. The steep 9:12 gable roof creates generous volume through the loft while giving the structure a sharp, modern cabin profile. The compact footprint and straightforward construction make it an excellent choice for owner-builders working with a modest budget or on a smaller parcel.
