Located on the Knife River just outside Mora, MN this family hunting cabin has year round functionality. In the winter, this home benefits from our insulated 16″ Hand Hewn EverLogs for an energy efficient performance that can outlast the long harsh Midwest winters. Energy efficiency is a key benefit in all of our projects. For this fishing and hunting cabin, the owner is guaranteed a warm and dry cabin to return to after a day of duck hunting or snowmobiling. Saddle notch corners with wide chink lines also add a rustic look and feel. Howard Homes Inc. designed and built this cabin.

Custom home builder Blake Swanson of Swanson Homes needed the design of a contemporary rambler, dubbed “Solara” (part of a new development in the west suburbs of Minneapolis), to be flexible, especially because there was no owner in place at the time of the build. Swanson partnered with architect Charlie Stinson of Modern Oasis Architecture + Design to design and build a home with a transitional style that could fit the needs of a wide range of homeowners. Core to Stinson’s final design are expansive windows that capture lots of light and frame the view of the heavily forested lot. A mix of products from the Marvin Ultimate collection and new Marvin Vivid collection windows were used throughout the home. “We felt that the Vivid product line was a perfect fit for this home because of their slimmer profiles,” said Swanson. “We really want to be looking through the windows here and not necessarily at the windows.”
