Modern Wooden House On Lake Okoboji

This house is designed by MinDay and located in rural Iowa,

Lake Okoboji. The whole design is focused on the lake

and consists of series of spatial frames that provides

as private as public areas. The lake itself is ringed

by numerous oak trees which form beautiful a canopy

around the lake, separating it from the expanse of farmland

beyond. The house’s frames also provides owners with

additional privacy when they are at home. Living areas

are open to the lake and woods views, but visually closed

to neighbors on the sides.

The exterior of the house is done in sustainably-harvested

Ipe cladding, concrete, and aluminum panels. The interior

continues the theme of naturalism and also features a lot

of wooden details and neutral colors.
