Reclaimed glass, natural materials and the regenerated prairie on the land of a sesquicentennial farm was the genesis of the sustainable design for the off-grid Glass Cabin designed and built by the architect. Located in the flood plain, the structure is raised to minimize the disturbance of the grasslands, allowing water and wildlife to run freely underneath. Designed as a family retreat of occasional use, the extension of the front facade creates a man-made edge to the clearing in the woods next to the river, with "barn" doors sliding open to reveal the northern glass front, closing to provide security and blending into its surroundings.
