On a wooded site in Deephaven, Minnesota, Snow Kreilich Architects conceived a geometric cedar-clad retreat overlooking Lake Minnetonka.

“This new holiday house by Minneapolis-based Snow Kreilich Architects balances the quiet and the dramatic. Its stained-cedar skin takes its cue from the dense woods that surround it, ensuring a calm presence within the landscape, while its strong composition of two long, overlapping volumes stretches out dynamically to frame Lake Minnetonka”.
