New small homes & cottages
Compact, well-built homes sized to the site and the budget — designed around how you actually live, not a template floor plan.
Little Bird Homes
Small-batch homes, built with care.
We take on a few projects a year — new small homes, whole-home refreshes, move-in styling — and give each one the attention it deserves, from the first sketch to the last cushion placed just so.

What we believe
Three things we won't compromise on.
Few projects, done fully.
We'd rather finish a handful of homes beautifully than start twenty and stretch thin. Every project gets full attention, start to finish — because that's the only way it turns out well.
Materials that feel like home on day one and year twenty.
We choose finishes for how they wear, not just how they photograph, so the house still feels right long after the first coat of paint has settled in.
Budgets spoken plainly.
Real numbers on the table early, in plain language, updated as the project moves. No vague allowances, no surprises waiting at the end.
What we do
Three kinds of projects, one standard.
Whole-home refresh & staging
A tired house made to feel considered again: surfaces, light, and flow reworked thoughtfully, without a full teardown.
The Landing Kit
Move-in styling — furniture, textiles, and the small fixes that make a finished house feel lived-in from the very first night.
How a project unfolds
Four gentle steps, in order.
- 01
First visit
We walk the space, or the site, together and talk plainly about what's possible within your budget and timeline.
- 02
Drawings & honest numbers
A clear plan and a real budget follow — not a placeholder estimate that grows once work begins.
- 03
The build, or the refresh
Steady, visible progress with regular updates. We don't disappear for months and reappear at the end.
- 04
The finishing week
The last week is ours alone — styling, small fixes, and the details that make a house feel truly finished.
A house becomes a home in the small decisions.
