Architect Henry Barrett revitalized a 1912 Craftsman bungalow in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, blending its historic charm with a cottagecore aesthetic. Originally untouched for fifty years, the home showcased California redwood and Douglas fir flooring, which Barrett uncovered through renovations. While embracing the house's rich detail and context, Barrett stepped outside his usual minimal and modern design preferences to create a welcoming, textured environment. The exterior was refreshed with new paint and a picket fence, embodying a narrative inspired by the cottagecore trend.
I wanted to get the cottagecore effect, a cheeky nod to the popular internet trend.
My design tends to be way more minimal and modern; I love bright white, clean, minimal spaces—and this is the opposite.
