Nestled in a field of praire grass in the Wisconsin woods, the Weekn’der is a dynamic contrast of minimalist black and white. Charlie Lazor's design consists of two prefab modules bookending a central stick-built home.

The Lario Wing at Spazio Villa Erba is constructed of glass sheets and steel. The architect describes this wing as characterized by free curved lines, in subtle harmony with the existing trees.

Proceeding through the Weekn’der is an experience of shifting volumes, myriad textures, and changing light. Pine walls stained a warm blonde hue, corrugated metal roofing, and an abundance of glass make the space feel roomier than its 1,600 square-feet.

The ultra-compact "sleeping berths" are a couple of steps up from the ground. Deep frame windows mediate views to the outside and the white walls bounce diffused light to illuminate the space as if it were a light box.
