        View from the lake

        • The client and architect identified two major design goals they wanted their cabin to achieve. The first was for the cabin to sit lightly on the land. Selecting the proper location on the site allowed for minimal tree removal. Preservation of the natural terrain was another key goal, so the architect left the shoreline untouched to protect the water and native agriculture.
        • The open plan gives the spaces the larger-than-life appearance, while the exposed timber structure adds definition to the main living area and creates a level of scale and comfort.
        • The overall master plan also includes provision for an attached two-car garage and shop to permit budget phasing.
