The Cedar House is located in Northern Michigan set among a dense forest in a land conservancy which overlooks the Cedar River Natural Area. Designed by the partners of beag+haus for their client who is a prominent figure in land conservation, the home's unique shape and layout is derived from the owner's travels and desire to be connected to the land and place they call home.
The house sits at the mouth of a natural ravine and is surrounded by the landscape that keeps it hidden as you approach the site. The main design form of the house was inspired by the original A-frame cabins that dot the surrounding lakes and Northwoods region. The exterior materials were chosen to reflect the natural colors of the site throughout the seasons. The reclaimed redwood used on and in the house was purchased from a local cherry orchard that used the wood for their brining tanks. The wood was then milled by a local craftsman and used for exterior siding, decking and interior finishes and doors.
