Cobb

The Cobb introduces a more open relationship between kitchen, dining, and living spaces while preserving the classic cottage silhouette. This plan emphasizes functionality and flow, making it well-suited for homeowners who want a more contemporary interior experience within a historic exterior form. This cozy 1288 sq. ft. three bed / two bath cottage is named after Charles Cobb, whose historic estate serves as the trailhead to a few beloved Altadena hikes. With it’s signature side-facing front door under a catslide gable roof, the Cobb is unique even among other Janes cottages. The floor plan is arranged such that private quarters are on one side of the home, public spaces on the other. This allows for an airy flow through the living, dining, and kitchento the back yard. The interiors are adorned with original period details like plaster ceiling coves, narrow board wood floors, and tile fi replace hearth. We have taken the opportunity to improve upon the details and address the fi re resiliency of these beloved century old homes.
