N46° 57’ 54’’ | New Build
Along Minnesota’s North Shore, everything revolves around Lake
Superior. N46° 57’ 54” is no exception. The cabin’s design is based on a
precise grid, with the repetition of exposed wood beams and expansive
windows providing a sense of organized serenity. The cabin has two
distinct wings—one containing the bedrooms and the other housing the
public spaces. Despite their differences, both wings maintain a strong
connection to the outdoors, providing a cohesive cabin backdrop for
their unique functions.
To ensure that the cabin is as energy-efficient as possible, ZIP
R-sheathing was used and structural insulated paneling (SIP) was
selected for the roof strategy, which, combined with the R-sheathing,
provides a completely thermally broken exterior shell for the building.
Exposed natural materials paired with elegant, clean lines bring a sense of harmony between the outdoors and the
inviting interior. The views are oriented to take in the morning sunrise over the lake and focus the attention on what
matters most in a cabin: the outdoors.
