EarthWell Retreat Center

Project type
Cabin function & Design
These minimalist and off-grid cabins were designed for a retreat center in Manchester, Michigan. I installed the propane heating system, with the eventual intention at the time to create heat from an Earth Oven on the South Facing Side to help heat and the propane would be supplemental. EarthWell had a low budget and the intention was to create a natural, cozy, simple but colorful feel to clients who have come to unplug and enjoy nature connectivity. We used clay-based porcelain paint and furniture items from the property and solar lanterns & battery operated lights (3 Season Cabins without electricity or plumbing). The cabins are lit with battery operated lights and solar lanterns to find your way through the woods to the outdoor bathrooms. The main house and kitchen are fully equipted with electricity, plumbing and all the amenities of modern living !
