这个僻静的地方位于苏必利尔湖的西边。在一条短小的林间车道的尽头，一个储藏室和木棚结构形成了一个标志着进入该地的门户。 进入小木屋，一个长长的朝南的甲板，辅以壁炉，为最冷的五大湖上经常出现的凉爽日子提供了一个温暖的阳光空间。上面的悬臂屏风门廊为相对较少的热天创造了一个阴凉的区域，并作为主入口的一个雨/雪遮挡。
This secluded retreat is on a West facing shore of Lake Superior. At the end of a short forested driveway a storage building and woodshed structure form a gateway which marks entry to the site. Proceeding to the cabin a long South facing deck supplemented with fireplace provides a warm sunny space for the often cool days on the coldest of Great Lakes. A cantilevered screen porch above creates a shaded area for the relatively few hot days and acts as a rain/snow cover for the main entrance.
16×40英尺的小木屋内部采用透明的椴木镶板，可以看到湖面和周围的森林。在北面，一个额外的户外早餐平台可以俯瞰一片原生草和野花的田野。上层包括两个双层房间，一个客房，一个主人套房和用于夏季睡眠的屏幕门廊。小屋的V形屋顶将雨水引向侧面的露台，同时也引向建筑的两端。
The 16×40 foot cabin interior is paneled in clear basswood and directs views toward the lake and surrounding forest. To the North an additional outdoor breakfast deck overlooks a field of the native grasses and wild flowers. The upper floor consists of two bunk rooms, one guest room, a master suite and screen porch for summer sleeping. The V-shaped roof of the cabin directs rain water away from the side decks as well as away from the building ends.
在通往湖岸的小路上，隐藏着一个桑拿房，它重复了V形屋顶的功能。所有建筑都使用了黑色的纸塑复合壁板和陈旧的雪松元素，提供了一个几乎免于维护的外部环境，使人们在休养所的日子里更容易打理。以前被用作家庭露营地的土地现在是一系列的结构，提供了各种机会来沐浴在户外。
Hidden in the woods off the pathway to the lakeshore is a sauna which repeats the function of the V-shaped roof. The use of black paper-resin composite siding along with aging cedar elements on all buildings provide a nearly maintenance-free exterior allowing more care-free days at the retreat. The land which had previously been used as the family campsite now a series of structures that provides every opportunity to bask in the outdoors.
