This small studio house plan was a labor of love, and became a sweet retreat for the couple who clearly put their heart and soul into the design. This small California house design is an inspiring studio space for homeowners architect Sarah Deeds of Deeds Design and carpenter John McBride, who together designed and built this 120-sq.-ft. book nook in the woods. Surrounded by trees and wild yet thoughtful landscaping, this wood clad house is right at home here. This sustainable house was thoughtfully built and finished using salvaged and FSC-certified wood, eco friendly wood stain and no-VOC exterior paint, reclaimed materials (i.e. the glass and aluminum front door), and passive solar heating. Integrated LED lighting gives the house a warm glow by night. Inside, though small, the efficiently designed space offers plenty of space for work and play, and even a little “me” time to relax and reflect. Deeds Design
