problem statement...

Lost Rock is a collection of cabins and pavilions designed with one overriding imperative: to defer to the rugged beauty of the Ozark Mountains — to rest quietly among the hills and meadows both in form and materials, sharing and conserving the land, never dominating it. Lost Rock is not a showcase for cutting-edge, modern architecture. It is a casual community of unique, attainable homes-away-from-home built of materials as simple and durable as the Ozarks themselves, where residents leave the distractions of “civilization” behind and return to nature – to a simple, honest, uncluttered way of life. Nestled into a hillside, perched among the treetops, or hovering just above water’s edge, Lost Rock’s homes and pavilions are minimal, practical, sustainable structures that blur the line between indoors and out.
