THE COOTIE CATCHER
1,650 SF Urban Reno. & Addition • Under Construction
Contractor: Long House Builders
A young family chose to adapt their 900sf bungalow in order to remain in the neighborhood they love. A 700sf addition serves the needs of a growing family and their passion for the outdoors and cooking.
The Cootie Catcher is named for its unique pyramidal roof, which reflects the hipped roofs nearby and resembles the children's origami fortune telling toy. Like origami, the small home is designed to unfold with surprise and delight.
The original and new portions of the home are stitched by a series of pocket courtyards and unexpected views of the sky. The main living spaces are located in the backyard, which provides an added layer of privacy. Long views through the small home provide clear circulation, a sense of spaciousness, and connections outdoors.
