這間簡陋的，880 平方英尺的小屋是為一個年輕的家庭設計的，坐落在一條古老的筏道盡頭，其緊湊的體積緊鄰威斯康星州偏遠森林中一小塊空地的邊緣。

緊縮的預算使其只能有一個非常簡單的結構。為了最大限度地減少建筑的占地面積并利用傾斜場地，傳統小屋的水平組織組件——典型的開放式長屋，公共生活空間，外屋和獨立的工具棚——被重新配置并垂直堆疊。底部坐落于小山丘上，可從空地進入，里面有一個小的工作坊、設備儲藏室和洗手間，為上面的生活區提供了基礎設施。木板入口門通向開放式起居室的樓梯，起居室的中心是一個燒木柴的爐子，中間是一個簡單的廚房和一對小的開放式臥室。起居室兩端的落地窗簾可以移動或收起，其起伏的織物和精致的質地為清爽的室內調色板增添了一份感性。窗簾的布置可以為臥室提供隱私保護，可以向主起居區敞開窗簾，或者在不使用時屏蔽廚房。沿起居室兩側的大型滑動推拉孔提供了廣闊的森林視野，并直接進入一個非正式的山坡平臺。到了夏天，這些孔變成了屏蔽的開口，實際上把起居室變成了一個有蓋的室外房間，有效促進換氣，從而避免了機械調節。一個小書房，最初設想為毗鄰起居室的另一個房間，但現在設立在它的頂部，創造了一個私密高聳的天文臺，可以看到樹梢的景色。

這個精心細致的項目利用了該地區農莊建筑中現成可用的材料。在外面，裸露的混凝土、雪松、陽極氧化金屬和水泥灰泥都與周圍森林和巖層的柔和、土質色調相呼應。材料調色板延伸到內部，兩個主要層面上的整體彩色拋光混凝土地板提供了足夠耐用的表面，以抵御來自鄉村天空、狗和泥濘的登山靴的破壞。墻壁、天花板和內置柜子都被漆成白色，在漫長的冬季里給室內增添了亮色，提供了一個安靜，中性的背景，在這個背景下，復雜多變的自然場景可通過小屋的大開口精心構筑得以展現。

This modest, 880 square-foot cabin for a young family sits at the end of an old logging road, its compact volume hugging the edge of a small clearing in a remote Wisconsin forest.

The tight budget required a rigorously simple structure. In order to minimize the building’s footprint and take advantage of the sloped site, the horizontally organized components of a traditional cabin compound – typically an open-plan longhouse with communal living space, an outhouse, and a freestanding toolshed – were reconfigured and stacked vertically. The bottom level, carved into the hill and accessible from the clearing, houses a small workshop, equipment storage, and a washroom,providing the infrastructural base for the living quarters above. A wood-slatted entry door opens to stairs that lead up to the open living hall centered around a wood-burning stove and bracketed by a simple galley kitchen and a pair of small, open sleeping rooms.

Floor-to-ceiling curtains on either end of the living hall can be moved or retracted, their undulating fabric and delicate texture adding a sensual dimension to the crisp interior palette. Depending on their arrangement, the curtains can provide privacy for the sleeping rooms, open them up to the main living space, or screen the kitchen when not in use. Large-scale lift-slide apertures along the sides of the living hall offer extensive views of the forest and direct access to an informal hillside terrace. In the summer, the apertures become screened openings, virtually transforming the living hall into a covered outdoor room and facilitating a high degree of cross-ventilation that eliminates the need for mechanical conditioning. A small study, originally conceived as another room adjacent to the living hall, was instead stacked on top of it, creating an intimate, elevated observatory with treetop views.

The meticulously detailed project takes advantage of readily available materials used in the region’s farmstead architecture.On the outside, exposed concrete, cedar, anodized metal, and cementitious plaster all echo the muted, earthy hues of the surrounding forest and rock formations. The material palette extends to the inside, where integrally colored polished concrete floors on the two main levels provide sufficiently durable surfaces against the periodic abuse from cross country skies, dogs, and muddy hiking boots. Walls, ceilings, and built-in cabinets are painted white, lightening up the interiors during the long winter months and providing a quiet, neutral foreground against which nature’s complex and ever-changing tableau, carefully framed by the cabin’s large openings, can unfold.
