An Elegant 800-Square-Foot Cottage

Nestled amongst a bucolic 17 1/2 acres of land featuring beautiful live oak, pine, and magnolia trees, architect C. Brandon Ingram was commissioned to create a small grouping of classic southern buildings for his clients. Located 30 minutes outside Tallahassee, Florida, the properties include a main house and a secondary guest cottage, the latter of which county ordinances required to be more than 800 square feet. “Our driving design motive was to create a structure that felt as though it wanted to be small, not that it had to be small,” said Brandon.  The result highlights some of the South’s best qualities… it is proper without pretense, graceful but not grandiose, and sophisticated yet subtle.  Let’s take a tour with images from  Southern Living and a few extras from Brandon’s portfolio…
