Timber Frame
Vineyard Guest Cottage
Fauquier County11 months
1,800 sq ft guest house
Project Story
The client wanted rental income from their vineyard property. We designed the cottage as an accessory dwelling on agricultural-zoned land—qualifying for ag exemptions that reduced permit timeline from 4 months to 6 weeks. Douglas Fir was chosen for the frame because it photographs well for vacation rental listings.
Key Challenge
Accessory dwelling on agricultural-zoned property; navigated agricultural exemptions while meeting residential code for rental use
