Reclaimed cedar, longleaf pine and charred wood combine in cottage

AUSTIN - With both striking design and exquisite millwork, Cedar Shake Cottage is quite the eye-catcher.  Shaped by a tree, impervious cover restraints, and an angled easement, the 550-square-foot cottage features reclaimed cedar shingles, charred wood flooring, reclaimed longleaf pine cabinetry, stucco walls, and a built-in bed. The cottage’s second floor leans away from the first to improve lines of sight between floors and to fit the stairs to code, says designers Studio 512. Angled walls integrate a covered porch and an outdoor shower.
