Let's Talk







The Cottages of Ladue at Dwyer Place embody beauty and substance, where life leads design and design leads function. Cottages are homes where no detail is left unattended, and where every nook offers comfort and purpose. They're manageable packages, where technology lives in harmony with old-world craftsmanship, giving you the freedom to live and enjoy life.

Sinn Design • Build is pleased to be the first to introduce authentic custom cottage homes to the St. Louis market, in the sought after area of Ladue Proper. In true cottage style, The Cottages of Ladue at Dwyer Place features luxury, manageable living at it's finest:

  • Starting in the $900's
  • Custom Cottages
  • 7 homesites on Dwyer Place
  • 3000 to 5000 square feet
  • Walking distance to Ladue schools, shopping and dining
  • Lock It & Leave It Maintenance packages that give you freedom and peace of mind

We've developed concepts and architectural renderings which show each homeowner some examples of how to approach designing a custom cottage with Sinn Design • Build. We invite you to explore each concept and potential floor plans and ponder how a cottage home might suit you and your family.

Cottage homes have become mainstays in areas across the country. The concept has gained widespread attention in recent years with the introduction of "The Not So Big House" by Sarah Susanka. We've embraced these ideals in the Cottages of Ladue at Dwyer Place:

  • "Jewel box" living where beautiful features and manageability are favored over mass - key for active lifestyles
  • Design details and character that make a house feel like home
  • Comfortable spaces appropriate for both private time and entertaining
  • Thoughtful designs for the way people want to live and function in their homes

Each custom cottage will follow Sinn's exclusive Design Assessment process, which features:

  • Your private viewing of the cottage concepts and available lots
  • In-depth exploration of your needs, wants and budget based on your lifestyle
  • Sketching session and drawings to give shape to your cottage home
  • Selections expertise and personalized shopping assistance
  • Seamless coordination with our own construction team

Think need, want, life, function - and let us bring it home.

As with any custom home, your list of options is nearly limitless. Your cottage will be designed to suit your lifestyle, and can include such features as elevators, advanced technology, main floor Master Bedrooms, or anything that will serve you well.
