A DIY Couple Build a Scandi-Inspired Guesthouse and Office for $275K

Drew and Tarah have been a couple for 12 years and have four children together. "Drew and I were used to deploying our creativity in our respective fields—his in animation and video design, and mine in project management and design," says Tarah. "We’ve been self-employed most of our marriage and have loved ‘growing up’ amongst a larger community of people in Colorado Springs. We wanted to keep our roots here, and The Lofthouse was designed to help facilitate a work/life balance through both convenience and healthy separation."
