After selling 40 acres of Iowa farmland to fund the purchase of a northwoods escape, this long-standing dream of these clients will soon be a reality. The cabin, which is currently in development, is designed to be a multi-generational gathering place; a venue where the couple’s adult children and growing number of grandchildren, can make memories in comfort together.

The building emphasizes togetherness by placing the living spaces up on the main floor, giving the living room, kitchen, and deck the premier views to the lake. The sleeping quarters in the basement below are efficiently laid out to provide generous sleeping capacity for guests while not detracting from the house’s varied entertaining spaces. Meanwhile, a main floor primary suite provides separation from the guest sleeping quarters and facilitate single-floor living for the primary occupants as they enter into retirement.
