Gorgeous Flathead Lake Cabin is a Minimalist Home for the True Adventurer

You would need to have a great sense of adventure and a deep love of nature to want to stay in a Montana cabin that has zero heating or cooling. But that's the point - at least for <a href="http://www.anderssonwise.com/">Andersson Wise Architects</a> from Austin, who <a href="http://inhabitat.com/gorgeous-eco-lodge-built-on-flathead-lake-in-montana/">previously built an eco-lodge</a> on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flathead_Lake">Flathead Lake</a>. The 600 square meter retreat sits amidst the Rocky Mountains, and is a wonderful place to relax, soak up the scent of Ponderosa pine trees, and watch birds of prey. But with very few amenities on offer, its certainly not for those looking to live in the lap of luxury.

This is not the first minimalist structure that Andersson Wise Architects have built on Flathead Lake

The 600 square foot cabin is located in Montana- amidst the Rocky Mountains

It was important to disturb the site as little as possible, so timber was sawn off site

Sustainably sourced wood was designed for easy assembly once on site.

Although comprised of bits and pieces, the designers managed to give the cabin a very polished finish

There are very few amenities in the house

The screened windows open up the cabin to the outside flora and lake views while simultaneously permitting a lot of natural light

The bathroom takes its water from Flathead Lake

Very little energy is required

This cabin - for the true adventurer - has no heating or cooling!
