Camp Spirit Lake

Camp Spirit Lake is a modern guest lodge located in northern Wisconsin and is part of a larger generational family retreat – consisting of a main house, artist studio and two boathouses. Rooted into the hilltop, the new guest lodge captures views of Spirit Lake, while respecting the scale of the new boathouse below. The main level is divided in to two wings or pavilions consisting of a living hall and three uniform guest suites. The living hall and the guest suites are offset and connected by a gallery corridor, providing a 125 foot sightline that frames nature on either end. The pavilions are designed to be intimate for small gatherings and functional for large scale reunions and social events. Glass, wood and stone are seamlessly woven together from inside to out, as they reference the primary building materials of the Northwoods. Custom wood door systems create a strong architectural connection to nature, while selected furnishing and interior cabinetry create a thoughtful and modern nod to Wisconsin’s camp style and heritage.
