Clerestory windows are strategically placed to usher in abundant daylight, penetrating deep into the living spaces and accentuating the tall ceilings. The interior is designed for ease of maintenance, featuring a low-maintenance concrete floor and white walls that serve as a canvas for the warmth of natural wood elements, offering a modern twist on the classic "up north cottage" aesthetic.
