L-M Cabin:

teardown/remodel

Like all cabin stories, busy, professional, empty nesters were looking for space on a lake in the woods to enjoy more time fishing in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter. They found a cabin, but as the family grew and friends wanted to come up to ski in the winter, it became apparent the 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom, and very small kitchen cabin was not going to meet the needs. They also realized this was a place they wanted to retire to. The limitations were the existing (SF) foundation and the ability to add on 100 SF. The husband spear headed the design with a background in landscape design and recently had finished designing the garage-majal across the street. He became stuck and called on hw² design to look at it with a fresh pair of eyes. After many questions, which extended out to their children and family it was decided they a second story loft space for company was required with its own bathroom. The scope of work grew, but also addressed the major concerns about the existing cabin. It is schedule to start construction in Spring of 2018.
