Kettle Moraine House

CAMPBELLSPORT, WI

Located near the rocky terrain known as “Kettle Moraine” this 3,000 square foot home uses conventional wood framing to build a linear-styled home. The presence of thin columns on the rear terrace and the huge expanses of glass provided a fun challenge in designing the lateral structural systems, but the result gives anyone sitting inside a beautiful view of the surrounding natural landscape.
