Low Country From Designer Cottages

Available from Designer Cottages, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, is the Low Country, a meticulously designed tiny home that features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom within its compact 464 sq.ft. space. With dimensions measuring 14' x 36', this model draws inspiration from the tranquil marshlands and coastal aesthetics of regions like Savannah and Charleston, successfully blending luxury and simplicity into its design.

The hallmark of the Low Country lies in its seamless integration of minimalist sensibilities with an air of sophistication. This fusion is achieved through the inclusion of premium features such as Ply Gem aluminum clad wood windows, Summit Appliance appliances, stylish brand-name faucets, and elegant quartz countertops. These high-end finishes collectively elevate the tiny home's overall appeal.

Key features of the Low Country model include the expansive and energy-efficient Ply Gem® French Doors, an innovative Summit Appliance combo washer & dryer, a luxurious quartz tub surround in the bathroom, and stainless steel Summit Appliance 24″ range and 30” refrigerator. The living space is bathed in natural light, courtesy of the 3 walls of windows offering panoramic 270-degree views. The bedroom boasts a generous 9’ 5” ceiling height, while the kitchen, living, and dining areas exhibit sloping ceilings ranging from 9’ 6” to 11’ 0”, providing ample space for a dining room table accommodating up to 6 individuals.

Exterior features of note include a covered porch with large overhangs, premium cedar shake shingles, distinctive poplar bark siding, and horizontal board and batten lower body/water table. Inside, the tiny home boasts beautiful 7” oak hardwood flooring with tongue and groove detailing, along with modern and durable quartz countertops. Energy-efficient Ply Gem aluminum clad windows and doors, a space-saving tankless water heater, and an efficient Mitsubishi Ductless mini-split system for climate control further enhance the home's functionality and comfort.

Notably, Designer Cottages' tiny homes are available in select locations across the United States. These homes are meticulously constructed to adhere to specific state and local codes, ensuring design approval and alignment with final location specifications. The construction of the Low Country model typically takes between 6 to 8 weeks, delivering a swift realization of the vision of a personalized tiny home.
