Tiny Beach Bungalow

Closing a pass-thru that broke up the living room, adding a fireplace to separate the living room from the entry, and creating a half-wall to make space for built-in seating, create a cosy bungalow feeling while creating more storage and more functional spaces. Cabinets were used instead of a coat closet in the entry and the storage area serves both as a drop zone and extra serving area when there are guests. Adding a stepped shallow soffit with lighter gradations of paint makes the ceiling appear taller than its 8 feet.
