On the edge of a mixed northern forest, south of Lake Superior, this minimalist box is a quiet luxury for the owners after years of camping onsite. The oxidized steel shell hides surprises within. An orange entry and a plywood dining-seating-storage cubby carve out punctuate an otherwise pristine white interior. The site-built weeHouse ADU Large sleeps up to 4 with the do-all bench cubby.

The high-performance structure based on Passive House principles of air-tight construction, robust insulation, passive solar gain, and low energy inputs, reflects the owners desire for keeping the wilderness (almost) wild.
Large triple-glazed windows capture beneficial solar heat gain in winter, while maximizing views and ensuring comfort within the house’s modest footprint.
