Meet the Author - The New Cottage

Meet the architect and author Katie Hutchison for a presentation of her latest book The New Cottage, published by Taunton Press in 2018.

The mere thought of "cottage" puts the mind at ease, as a cottage is where life is simple, comforting, and trueCottages are an informal, often hardy subset of small houses, generally possessing a visceral grab on homeowners' imaginations.

The New Cottage explores how our favorite home is changing to suit living today. Even in the face of technology's expanding scope and speed, and the resulting nearly ubiquitous reach of social media, today's new cottage appeals to our increasing need to balance transience and durability, togetherness and solitude, the high tech and the homespun.

  • Ten design strategies that characterize captivating cottages are introduced.
  • 25 case study examples showcase today's updated take on the classic cottage, with visual icons throughout to serve as a reminder of which strategies are in use where.
Katie Hutchison  is an architect with over 23 years of experience in residential design and the author of the best-selling The New Small House. She is sole proprietor of Katie Hutchison Studio and provides design commentary to shelter magazines and design blogs, including her own, House Enthusiast. Hutchison and her husband live in Warren, Rhode Island.
