NAVE DADU.

The Nave DADU is a companion to the Cross House, reflecting its motifs on a more humble scale — the same gable form, vertical wood siding, and stone chimney, distilled to a single open volume with a surprisingly voluminous vaulted ceiling.

Inside, sleeping, dining, and living share one room, with a kitchenette and bathroom tucked within. The arched fireplace anchors the end wall, framed by windows looking out into the garden — a quiet place to retreat, without feeling apart.
