Landa residence

Location: [Need to determine]
Completed: 2025
Scope: New Home Build
Style: Rustic Cottage Core with Modern Edge

A FOREVER HOME DESIGNED TO DO IT ALL

This project was envisioned as a long-term family home designed to support both everyday living and meaningful moments together. Built for a family of five, the home needed to balance openness, function, and comfort — while incorporating custom features that make the space feel deeply personal and entirely one of a kind.

The primary objective was creating a highly functional layout that accommodates family life, hosting, and recreation, all within a warm, rustic cottage core aesthetic.

Incorporate spaces for daily routines, fitness, play, and gathering while ensuring the home remains cohesive and livable.
Layer custom architectural moments throughout the home to elevate the cottage core foundation and create visual distinction.

CAPTURING rustic cottage core living

Family-Centered Planning:
An open floor plan anchors the home, allowing the kitchen, living, and dining areas to function as a central hub for connection, hosting, and everyday life.

Hospitality-Inspired Spaces:
Features such as a pool, game room, guest bedroom, and generous entertaining areas allow the home to transition seamlessly from quiet family days to lively holidays and gatherings.

Thoughtful Functionality:
Dedicated spaces including a home gym, functional laundry, and well-planned pantry ensure the home supports the practical needs of a busy household without sacrificing warmth or charm.

TEXTURE-RICH, COTTAGE-INSPIRED DESIGN

Architectural Foundations:
Exposed hanging beams, custom barn doors, hidden door features, and a double-sided fireplace establish character and create moments of discovery throughout the home.

Warm Palette:
Neutral tones of browns, tans, and whites are layered with black, grey, and green accents to modernize the rustic cottage core aesthetic while maintaining softness.

Refined Finishes:
Furniture and finish selections lean rustic in texture and form, adding subtle edge that complements the home’s original cottage inspiration without overpowering it.

MADE FOR FAmily + Everyday moments

Designed with intention and longevity in mind, this home functions beautifully as a forever residence — adaptable, welcoming, and full of thoughtful detail.

Post-completion, the home delivers a warm, lived-in environment that supports everything from morning routines and workouts to pool days, holidays, and gatherings with friends and family. The result is a space that feels both comforting and elevated, grounded in tradition yet tailored to modern life.

Rooted in warmth and designed to evolve, this rustic cottage home is a true reflection of the family it was built for.
