DRIFTLESS

A modern home set in a valley in Southern Wisconsin’s Driftless Region. The design draws from the area’s agrarian vernacular, expressed in a simple gabled volume set behind a black modern long-shed form. Extending east and west across the hillside, the shed establishes a strong horizontal datum and frames valley views from the bedrooms.

At its center, an enclosed dogtrot marks the main entry — a quiet incision in the dark volume that opens south toward the landscape while buffering the interior from Upper Midwest winters.
