Dad-daughter architects design backyard dwelling for multi-generational living父女建筑师设计后院住宅，适合多代同堂居住
Rather than having her parents find a separate home of their own in San Antonio, Cotton Estes proposed building a stand-alone structure for them in her backyard.

Growing up in Jamestown, Rhode Island, the United States, Cotton Estes got a very early education in architecture: Her father, Jim Estes, was a founder of the firm that is now Estes Twombly + Titrington Architects, and he was always designing modernist homes in the Northeast.
"Monkeying around on construction sites when I was little, with my dad, made a big impression on me,” said Estes, 41, who now lives in San Antonio. "And I got to spend my sick days in the office, watching them make models.”

Cotton Estes 在美国罗德岛州詹姆斯敦长大，很早就接受了建筑方面的教育：她的父亲 Jim Estes 是 Estes Twombly + Titrington Architects 事务所的创始人之一，他一直在东北部设计现代主义住宅。
“小时候经常跟着爸爸在建筑工地闲逛，这对我影响很大，”现年41岁、居住在圣安东尼奥的埃斯特斯说。“生病的时候，我就待在办公室里，看他们制作模型。”
