Aerie's design is a response to the owners' direct programmatic needs and to its unique site. The property’s features include access to a secluded lake within the Superior National Forest and a picturesque and densely wooded terrain. Its challenges include a steep north-facing slope and a meandering seasonal stream that flows through the most accessible portion of the site. These site qualities strongly influence the placement, shape and layout of the home.
The aesthetic language of the home responds to the primitive nature of its remote location and the industrial and mining heritage of the North Shore region. The shed roof, wood interiors, corrugated zinc siding, stone flooring and exposed structural system reflect the local vernacular of pragmatism, utility and functional beauty.
The home is broken into three distinct pieces–an entry/stair tower, a main living box and a guest wing. The effect is a series of smaller volumes that reduce the scale of this 3,294 square foot home, decrease the impact on the densely forested site and create a sense of discovery with each unfolding turn of the floor plan.
Sustainable strategies include geothermal heating, solar electric power, LED and compact fluorescent lighting, rainwater catchment and filtration, grey water and black water treatment [eliminating onsite septic], a highly insulated thermal envelope and triple-pane windows.
