North Shore Retreat

Perched on a 16-acre property in Norther Minnesota, this home offers expansive views of Lake Superior’s rugged coastline. A single view takes precedence: During storm events, a micro-island of solid rock experiences dramatic cross-currents and explosive waves. In fair weather the island is a picturesque monolith emerging from dark waters. Core living spaces (Entry, Kitchen, Dining, Living) share this view by establishing lower relative floor planes; rooms step down in reverence to this ever-changing landscape feature.
