VERTICAL CIRCULATION
Positioned in a meadow between the main house and tractor barn, the Caffey Guest House serves as a respite for Owner and guests alike. Three volumes and two materials, simplicity in form and clear organization of plan. The three-story structure touches the ground lightly with a small footprint but commands attention through verticality. The guest house comes in just over 3,000 SF with each floor plate being around 1,000 SF. The lower level suite contains a master bedroom, full bath, full kitchen and laundry room. The second-floor suite contains a master bedroom, full bath, and a smaller bedroom with custom bunk beds for families. The top floor houses the public spaces, including the kitchen, dining and living areas.
