I’ve read a lot about this builder in the Seattle Times, Metropolitan Living, Sunset Magazine and who knows where else — but today was my first look up close and personal. I’m really impressed with the concept: built green, high-density with a community feel. The grounds where wonderful and the craftsman/cottage architecture is always a hit here in the Northwest.

Jim Soules, owner of the Cottage Company just happened to be onsite waiting for a delivery so I had a chance to talk with him. Apparently there next build is underway in Redmond already and they’ll have some larger units in this one — 3 Bedroom plus. Really nice guy to talk with and I hope to do some follow up articles about his background and motivation for the company.
