A brown felt-tip pen drawing of a cottage design on yellow tracing paper. The rectangular shaped modernist structure has cross-braced framing which is emphasised by rendering the triangular sections in brightly colored chalk in green and red. Panels consisting of four rectangular windows and plain blue and yellow panels can also be seen, along with a rudimentary suggestion of stairs outside the property. Beneath the main drawing are two smaller graphite drawings which show the cottage from two other angles and utilize the same triangular panels in yellow, blue, red and green.
