thinking about a backyard cottage? want to find out more?

Microhouse and Ncompass Cottage Company are offering convenient, concise informational workshops to help you learn more about backyard cottages.
You’ll learn about the history of backyard cottages, current codes and regulations, financing options, planning and design considerations, and how to select an architect and builder.
“Smaller cottages can be thought of as income producing rental properties, equity building additions, or perhaps as a warm safe place to have an aging parent live close by,” said Stefan Hansmire of Ncompass.
Ncompass Cottage Company provides folks all over the Puget Sound with affordable, environmentally sound and sustainable backyard and small lot cottages. The company’s philosophy can be summarized this way: Smaller homes on existing lots mean more affordable housing, less demand on municipal infrastructure, better use of immediate resources, and more flexibility for everyone.
Bring your photos and sketches and get answers to all your cottage questions.
Workshops are offered June 22, June 29 and July 13, from 7:00 – 8:00 PM, at the Community School of West Seattle, 9450 22nd Avenue Southwest.

For more information or to RSVP for a workshop, contact bruce@microhousenw.com or call 206-428-8599.
