On the edge of Lake Michigan, this property contains both dense woods and a bluff to the sandy shore. Our challenge was to create a new, energy-efficient, low-maintenance vacation home that could comfortably accommodate multiple generations. Most importantly, the new home needed to maximize views to the lake and woods and provide a strong connection between indoors and out.

在密西根湖的边缘，这片土地上既有茂密的树林，也有通往沙滩的悬崖。我们面临的挑战是创造一个新的，节能的，低维护度的度假别墅，可以舒舒服服地容纳好几代人。最重要的是，新家需要最大限度地看到湖面和树林，并提供室内和室外之间的紧密联系。

The site approach and the architecture are integrated together through a central entry axis, where a lush courtyard welcomes, and water beckons through the porch connector. Four cedar-clad cabins, two on each side of the axis, are peaked to reflect the surrounding Midwestern vernacular architecture. The cabins are linked by flat, zinc-clad connector spaces that provide both separation and definition.

通过一个中央入口轴，一个郁郁葱葱的庭院欢迎，水通过门廊连接器招手，现场的方法和建筑被整合在一起。四个雪松包厢，两个在轴线的两侧，是高峰，以反映周围中西部的乡土建筑。这些舱室是由平面，锌包层连接器空间连接，提供分离和定义.

Each cabin offers a specific function: storage, guest, gathering, and master suite. The grand scale of the vaulted living space is in contrast to the more intimate porch and family room in the connectors. A master suite and guest suites accommodate the needs of the family. Utilizing large windows and sliding glass doors, each space maximizes views to the lake and woods, while allowing the home to “breathe the lake air.” Dramatic skylights allow natural light to ebb and flow throughout the space. Durable materials reduce maintenance and evoke the natural beach landscape.

每个小木屋都提供一个特定的功能：存储、客人、聚会和主套房。拱形起居空间的宏伟规模与连接器中更为亲密的门廊和家庭空间形成了鲜明对比。主套房和客房套房满足家庭的需要。利用大窗户和滑动玻璃门，每个空间都能最大限度地看到湖面和树林，同时让家“呼吸湖面空气”。戏剧性的天窗使自然光在整个太空中起伏。耐久材料减少维护和唤起自然海滩景观。
