Phase 1 / see Farmstead Retreat, Event Venue

A proposal to open up a working flower farm as a agritourism destination near Lake Michigan’s east coast that will include a large event venue, new sleeping cabins and other facilities. the project plugs into a growing tourism infrastructure in the area, offering a scenic visit to fields of growing flowers.




For the cabins, we designed an open-ended triangulated module that could be reconfigured to produce make different kinds of spaces, from small one-bedroom tent-like structures to larger multi-room aggregations for bigger groups of visitors. The cabins play with the interactions between agricultural-industrial materials and the familiar language of the contemporary cabin, ply-lined and domestic.
