Lake Placid A-Frame
Lake Placid, Minnesota
Resting quietly along the shorelines of a wooded lake edge, this modern A-frame serves as an escape into nature for the city-dwelling owners. With a modest footprint, warmth and volume are abundant, utilizing natural timbers and exposed structural members spanning the full height of its dramatic form.

As avid winter enthusiasts, the owners’ desire for year-long adventure can be realized with this versatile getaway, resting naturally and with ease throughout the ever-changing seasons.
