Design Concepts

A grand camp compound with an original nucleus and highly site-specific additions emphasizing playfulness of scale, a contemporary attitude toward traditional materials, and many unique architectural features such as an oversized stone fireplace, a fully exposed, rough-hewn structure, radiant stone flooring, and innovatively detailed millwork.

The exterior materials and interior spaces are a contemporary interpretation of the traditional camp vocabulary. The design and workmanship celebrate the skills of local craftsmen and are expressed by the stone chimney, stone floors, metal roofs, peeled logs, and rough sawn timbers, hand-planed boarding, and built-in millwork.
