THE TJH DESIGN ETHOS Homes for a modern lifestyle
Smart Plans
Designed by top architects, our home plans are beloved for how large they live. From bonus lofts and work-from-home spaces to optimal window placement and clever storage solutions, we maximize every inch of a home so that it not only looks great but also lives right.
Attractive exteriors
Our homes’ attractive exteriors have been designed to enhance the character of the neighborhood and set the tone for your home’s design. Options range from modern minimalist to timeless traditional, and everything in between.
Elevated features
There’s nothing builder-grade about a TJH home. Our scale enables us to source high-end features and custom-quality finishes from the most trusted brands in home design for significantly less than traditional single-lot builders.
Designer interiors
Our interiors include designer-approved materials and finishes for your entire home. For pre-construction homebuyers, they are the ideal starting point from which to make optional upgrades.
Our award-winning team of architects and designers behind our collection of cottage-style homes designed smart plans that live large on a smaller footprint. From double-height living rooms to optimal window placement, we considered every detail to maximize livability and create a sense of openness.
With elevated amenities and finishes, our small-footprint homes still make room for a high-end living experience. You’ll find full-size kitchens with quartz countertops and large pantries, center islands with bar seating and discreet, under-counter microwaves, private outdoor space, smart home controls, and much more. (Features vary per plan).
By strategically utilizing every inch of space, our cottage-style homes offer ample storage to support a modern lifestyle, including tall kitchen cabinetry that takes advantage of the available vertical space, double-door pantries, under-stair closets, and walk-in closets, per plan.
Many of our cottage-style homes are built in small clusters, creating pocket neighborhoods. Connected by common walkways and green spaces, these homes promote greater community, support, and security while bringing you closer to Seattle’s coolest areas.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a cottage-style home a good fit for first-time homebuyers?
Cottage-style homes offer a more sustainable and affordable way of living. With a smaller, lock-and-leave footprint and smart designs that maximize every inch of space, they are ideal for small families, first-time homebuyers, or investors looking to own property in Seattle’s coolest neighborhoods.
What makes a cottage-style home a good rental or investment property?
These homes are built in neighborhoods across Seattle that are well-connected to the city and appealing to students, young families, and professionals. With proximity to local amenities, public transportation, business hubs, the University of Washington, and outdoor recreation, our cottage-style homes offer the convenience of city-living with the benefits of a single-family home.
What types of cottage-style homes are available?
We offer both detached and attached options for our cottage-style homes. Our modern, two-story designs and open-concept floorplans ensure maximum utilization of space and privacy for homeowners.
What is a pocket neighborhood?
Pocket neighborhoods are small clusters of detached cottage-style homes built around a shared common area. The homes are connected by common walkways and green spaces, which promote social interaction, security, and a sense of community among neighbors without sacrificing the privacy of a single-family residence.
What outdoor amenities are included in a cottage-style home?
Depending on the specific plan, many cottage-style homes feature private patios and backyards for indoor/outdoor living.

We proudly offer a best-in-class warranty with every TJH home.
What features are included in a cottage-style home to make it sustainable?
Our cottage-style homes are built with smart home technology and energy-efficient features. We use energy-saving appliances, LED lighting, and insulation to ensure that our homes are environmentally sustainable and save homeowners substantial costs on energy bills.
Can I turn my cottage home into a rental-income opportunity in the future?
Yes, you can. There are no short-term rental restrictions in our CC&Rs. This means that you can maximize the return on investment of your cottage-style home and list it on popular vacation rental platforms, such as Airbnb or VRBO, without any limitations or fees.
Where are your cottage-style homes located?
These homes can be found in Seattle’s coolest neighborhoods. Each neighborhood in which we build is carefully selected for its proximity to amenities and everyday conveniences, such as grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and access to outdoor recreation. That’s why many of our cottage-style homes have a walking score of 80 or higher on Redfin. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a young family, or an empty nester, you’ll find our homes in a location you’ll love.
What does the HOA in the cottage communities cover?
Designed to provide a convenient and hassle-free environment, our cottage communities come with Homeowners Association (HOA) fees that are used to provide essential services to residents. This includes water, sewer, and garbage services. Additionally, the HOA fees also cover master insurance policy, which gives you extra peace of mind knowing that your home is protected against unforeseen circumstances.
