R865 – Nest House

Project Data:  865 SF (2-Bedroom,  2-Bath, 1-Story on Concrete Slab with Storage Attic)

House Description


This traditional cottage features a bright and airy Great Room enhanced by vaulted ceilings and ample windows on three sides. An indoor/outdoor fireplace, with entry doors on either side, seamlessly extends the living space to the covered patio while creating a visual connection to the outdoors. Two thoughtfully designed bedroom suites are tucked away at the rear of the house, each equipped with large windows that offer an immersive view of nature upon waking. A generous storage/utility attic, accessible via an integrated ladder, ensures that belongings remain easily within reach. At 865 square feet, this home is perfectly sized for simple living, a vacation retreat, or an Airbnb.

Designed with sustainability in mind, this structure promotes environmental health and is affordable to maintain over time. Notable features include:

    • A super-insulated building shell constructed with traditional 2x6 framing and Huber Zip System® R-12 Insulated Panels for optimal external insulation.
    • The combination of extra insulation and a compact design results in lower energy consumption for heating and cooling.
    • Exterior finishes made from durable, low-maintenance fiber cement and stucco reduce both long-term maintenance costs and wildfire risk.
    • The roof offers ample space for the installation of solar panels.
    • Interior materials are carefully selected to be low or free of VOCs, ensuring healthy indoor air quality.
