We’re an innovative residential development company based in Seattle, Washington that builds ‘pocket neighborhoods’ of detached cottages and houses. We offer a fresh choice for people seeking a high-quality, ‘not-so-big’ home and a renewed sense of community. Since 1996, The Cottage Company has completed a number of award-winning projects in the Puget Sound area and has become recognized as a national leader in smart growth. Our homes are well crafted with simple, beautiful details that engender vitality and aliveness. They are carefully designed to work well together, balancing the need for privacy in the context of a community. And we pay close attention to ensure that our pocket neighborhoods fit comfortably into existing neighborhoods.		In the Press. . .
