Text description provided by the architects. Site:  Located on Two Bear Lake in Wisconsin, a small, deep, spring-fed lake, formerly a Boy Scout camp, the entire property was developed in the 1980’s, and covenants protect the peacefulness and quality of the area through, among other restrictions, prohibiting gasoline-powered motors on the water.  The small cabin unfolds toward the lake and is sited to take advantage of the southern view across a small bay toward the open water beyond.  Tall Birch trees shelter the cabin from the southern sun, and enliven the façade with playful, shifting shadows.
