Packed with personality, this retooled shed by Best Practice Architecture might just be the cutest little ADU in Texas.

On a rustic strip of coastline near Puerto Escondido, Mexico, S-AR designed a beach getaway with an open concrete grid that frames its natural surroundings.

There is minimal decoration in the house, keeping the focus on the plantings that surround it.

Outdoor seating helps make the deck and the living room on the other side of the movable glass feel like one combined space.

The tile flooring downstairs continues in the bedroom, which is tucked under the great room and opens onto the lower balcony.

Modern bathrooms were installed using natural materials and simple fixtures.

Rough-hewn finishes in the first-floor bedroom speak to the farmhouse character.

Triangular shelves make use of a corner in the open kitchen and dining space.

Alcoves and open shelving in the kitchen allow dishware and other accessories to be on display.

The original stone walls and wood ceiling beams were cleaned and restored to their natural finish.

The spacious, central living area looks out on a bucolic landscape.

The farmhouse, originally built in 1894, is now a recognized cultural heritage site.

Marble mosaic flooring from New Ravenna covers the floor and runs over the bench under the window, another spot for Charlie and Todd’s young daughter to perch. The walls are glazed American quarry tile by Design and Direct Source.

When Hess learned that Charlie and Todd had spent a few years living on a boat, she decided to take cues from nautical casework for the cabinet design. "[It] has to be so considered and exacting and very utilitarian," says Hess of boatbuilding tradition.
