Dakota County, Whitetail Woods Regional Park and Camper Cabins Wins 2015 AIA Minnesota Honor Award
The cabins riff on the idea of a treehouse, here entered from a bridge at the crest of the hill. Built on concrete piers to minimize environmental impact, the 227-SF cabins feature red cedar glulam chassis, cedar and pine framing, and red cedar cladding. Two full-size bunks, dining and sitting areas accommodate four individuals, with a sleeper sofa and folding seating accommodating up to two more. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors frame views of the forest.
