Pac-Man

A new cottage on a private island, on the enchanting, ever alluring Lake of the Woods.  Posed on the jaw of a peninsula, high above the water’s edge, affording spectacular panoramic lake views to the north, south and east.  The cabin follows the terrain, with the floor plate gently stepping down, as the broad sloping roof rises up, creating voluminous living areas and more intimate sleeping spaces.  A screened porch and open decks wrap three sides, promoting the occupants to flow outdoors, both physically and visually.  Timber posts salvaged from the island’s dense forest become part of the structure, blurring the line between the built and natural environments.  A winter ice road makes the cottage accessible year round.
