Bunkie on the Hill

A contemporary take on the conventional A-frame shape evokes the traditional cabin in the woods, differentiated by shifted roof volumes. The split roof with two intersecting gables creates opportunities for windows where the roofs separate. These openings curate views to the treetops and lake below, allowing natural light deep into the interior and creating dramatic angular lines of light and shadow. Natural materials such as greyed wood siding, natural cedar soffits and board-formed concrete were chosen to complement the rustic landscape.
