What if housing density looked like THIS?
Density doesn’t have to mean large apartment buildings.
Cottage cluster design offers right-sized homes you can own — with NO shared walls.
Koval Cottages — Lake Oswego, Oregon
This 8-unit cottage cluster in Lake Oswego was planned, designed, and permitted by Faster Permits Integrated Building Design™ as a small-scale neighborhood that blends modern architecture, efficient land use, and high-quality living.
Despite tightly limiting city codes and neighborhood concerns, the project was optimized on every front while satisfying all applicable policies.
Each home was thoughtfully designed to maximize:
• Natural light
• Functional open layouts
• Private outdoor connections
• Walkable shared spaces
• Clean modern Pacific Northwest architecture
Cottage cluster homes are an emerging housing model that allow communities to introduce more housing choices while maintaining neighborhood character.
This project reflects the philosophy behind every project we design:
Dream. Plan. Design. Permit.
