A cabin set on uninhabited land on the East side of Bear Lake posed a unique set of challenges: direct sun exposure could overpower the whole house, the remoteness of the property was problematic, and the complete lack of infrastructure (no sewage system, roads or access to power) created more than a few headaches. The clients wanted to maximize the space they had without creating something that detracted from the natural beauty. Set between green fields and the turquoise lake, the potential for views was great– but only if they could figure out the right angle to see above the sand berm.
Building the cabin on a higher foundation away from the shore maximized beautiful views. The specially engineered roof creates protection from direct sun exposure and heat at Bear Lake’s high elevation, while also providing shade and cool spaces along porches throughout the day. The cupola on top allows for increased airflow and natural lighting. A drainage system was created that minimized impact on surrounding farmland. Exterior lights around the house all point down in order to decrease light pollution from the cabin; on a summer night you can see the Milky Way. Piece by piece and detail by detail, challenges turned into opportunities, creating a distinctive home in harmony with its surroundings.
Four generations now gather together at the family cabin. Several rooms throughout the home provide large spaces for family time spent eating, playing games and everything in between. A seven- bed bunkroom with tons of fort-building potential adds to the magic–a perfect little retreat for cousins. The builders engineered a loft on the first floor that allows the kids to escape from the adults–and vice-versa. A new cabin reflects a new phase of life, with all the attachments of a familiar location. Building from here means building from the places that you love the most. A new place to call home.
