A focused site stormwater management strategy utilizes a combination of a green roof to slow and pond water and a bocce court which acts as an infiltration field for the roof water passing it into the exiting sand subsoil, filtering the roof water before it returns to the lake. A productive landscape was also integrated through a strategy of expanding an existing vegetable garden for produce and integrating bosques of maples into the clearing and forest edges for maple syrup production and forest health. A land management plan helped establish a healthy forest mix and floor with the establishment of tree nursery to plant trees annually on the property by the family.

The project sets a precedent for an ecologically sensitive and immersive landscape that stiches site and building program carefully within a cohesive and inspired framework. This project sets a new precedent for the cabin typology and it demonstrates the agency of landscape architects to shape spaces that amplify the richness of regional materials, celebrate native ecological communities through bold design, and imagine new ways a family can deepen their connection to each other and the land.
