Located near Charlevoix on the shores of Lake Michigan, Camp MINOH embodies the rugged ethos of Midwestern life. The house is nestled among pine and birch trees, positioned to face the strong winter winds that head south across the lake from the Upper Peninsula and Canada. Designed as a refuge for extended family gatherings, the interior plays between opaque and open spaces. The ground floor acts as the main gathering space, with a long linear connected floor plan. The second floor features a private den for film viewing, as well as a bunk room and two bedroom suites.
