Here’s a modern low maintenance house, and our idea of a dream home! This northern California house designed by Marmol Radziner is a prefab cottage for weekend rest and relaxation, getting back to basics with low-maintenance and easily replaceable materials like concrete floors and metal siding. A 70-ft. covered porch offers outdoor entertaining areas for alfresco living in any weather. Beyond the entrance, a sprawling outdoor lounge area sits comfortable beneath a curtain shade, furnished with comfortable yet stylish chairs and poufs overlooking the inviting pool. Inside, behind floor-to-ceiling glass walls, minimalist interiors are punctuated by amazing modern furniture that brings vibrant pops of color to the space. A fireplace feature is a certain hotspot for the homeowners – avid cooks, who enjoy grilling up gourmet feasts on the built-in barbecue. Marmol Radziner
