The home was designed and built for longevity and low maintenance, while keeping a warm and simple feel throughout. Simple shed roofs and a clean, rectangular layout made framing and waterproofing more efficient, while allowing the structure to sit lightly on the site. Full-height glazing on the lake side opens up the interiors, connecting the main living space directly to the outdoors. Meanwhile, the cantilevered upper volume provides built-in shading and privacy for the spaces below. Inside, the team used simple, durable materials like concrete floors, natural wood, and exposed steel. The final result is a well-built, practical retreat that respects the lakeside camp tradition, updated with modern performance and craft.
