This private residence is nestled on the shores of Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation in Northwestern Ontario. The A-Symmetrical Gable Roof (Saltbox) style cabin sits atop helical screw piles. It is well orientated to take advantage of passive solar strategies and shields from prevailing winds. A living box sits in the centre of the space that contains the Kitchen, W/C and master bedroom. On top of the living box sits a sleeping and play loft accessed by stairs on the east side of the cabin. A large social space is at the heart of the cabin. The cabin is all tied together by a central hearth that creates a space to visit, feast and laugh.
