[Seahawk]

My wife and I spent the past few years designing a small, separate, apartment to compliment the house we bought in South Carolina.

We did a lot of homework then hired an architect to tie it all together, He was invaluable in terms of presenting design wrinkles we did not consider.

850sq feet plus decking. One bedroom only. The zoning laws were very firm and we needed set back relief, which was granted.

The main house is 2300sq.

The design is in the process of being approved.

For your part of the world, the outdoor space would make a small house very livable.
