The Design Intent
The Auberge is built around a specific use case: a home that comfortably accommodates two separate sleeping arrangements in a compact footprint. The main floor delivers a complete private suite — bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area — while the loft above provides a self-contained guest space that doesn't interrupt the primary occupant's routine. In practice, that means a family member visiting for a week, or a second guest staying in a rental, without anyone feeling like they're living on top of each other.
At around 450 square feet on an 18 by 25 foot footprint, the gable form keeps construction straightforward and gives the interior proper ceiling height where it matters. This is a design that performs well as a guest house, as a short-term rental where guest experience drives reviews, or as a primary residence for someone who hosts regularly and wants the layout to support that without the home feeling purpose-built for hospitality rather than daily life.
This design is perfect for:
- ✓ The Sophisticated Guest House: A private and comfortable suite for hosting family or friends.
- ✓ The Rental Cabin: A high-performance investment property designed for durability and style.
- ✓ Effortless Hospitality: A layout that separates sleeping areas for maximum privacy in a small footprint.
