T The rural landscape of Foster, Rhode Island, a town 30 minutes west of Providence by car, is farmland reclaimed by trees. After the area was clear-cut and mainly used for agriculture a century ago, nature has slowly regenerated a sylvan blanket over its gently rolling hills. It’s there that artist Allison Paschke decided to build a 530-square-foot retreat from the urban thrum. “It’s sort of like a miniature cottage a miniature distance from the miniature city,” she says. To design the structure, Paschke enlisted the expertise of Providence-based architecture firm 3SIXØ, a studio she had previously worked with on a loft renovation. While she enjoys living in the city, she yearned for a place where she could commune with nature. “I brought them this rather, in retrospect, idiotic drawing,” she says of an early meeting with the architects. “It was half house and half greenhouse. I wanted to communicate the idea that I would be living in a world of plants and nature and not just in an ordinary habitation.” Chris Bardt, a founding partner (along with Kyna Leski) of 3SIXØ, and Jack Ryan, a senior associate at the firm and the project architect, collaborated closely with Paschke to refine her idea of a house that would offer a connection with the land while still providing a sense of security. “Allison came and said, ‘I don’t want a cabin; I want a cottage,’” Bardt says. “We spent a lot of time talking about how it should echo a bygone era—that postwar period where everyone dreamed of spending the summer in a cottage.” “They knew from working with me on the loft that the most important thing about the space would be > The deck is furnished with pieces from Design Within Reach (above left). Key to the space-efficient floor plan is a strategically placed set of recessed areas, including the sleeping nook and writing desk (above). The modest entry to the cottage (below) opens up to steeply angled ceilings for dramatic spatial effect. The bathroom is outfitted with a Kohler sink, black tile, and a countertop from Williams & Sons Slate & Tile (opposite, above). The kitchen area, which has IKEA cabinets with custom doors and pulls by Doug Mockett, is also recessed, with a lofted area above it (opposite, below). 100 NOVEMBER <strong>2015</strong> DWELL
