THREE ELEVATED CAMPER CABINS CREATE AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE OF THE PINE FOREST AT WHITETAIL WOODS REGIONAL PARK

摘要

What we wrote in our Jul/Aug 2015 issue: "We came up with the idea of single-sloped roofs, and dark cedar shingles offset by natural cedar stain," says HGA Architects and Engineers' Steven Dwyer, AIA, of the design for three camper cabins at the new Whitetail Woods Regional Park. "We wanted to create something simple enough that future buildings could follow it. We also wanted to create something that would be respectful to the landscape. That meant staying low, choosing natural colors, and not competing." The cabins are like no others you'll find in Minnesota. HGA scrapped the traditional log cabin aesthetic in favor of a crisply designed shelter that provides both privacy and big views. Each cabin is positioned on the ridge to give occupants an elevated view through the trees.
