Kickapoo Village

CabinRest + Wash + View

The Kickapoo Cabin Village seeks to immerse visitors in a camping experience, reconnecting people with the Midwestern woods. The village is comprised of six cabin/yurts, a communal shelter for cooking and gathering and a dock providing kayakers access to the village. The architectural forms of the village wrap themselves around the campers offering shelter and a framing of the natural setting. The cabins cascade down a ravine and establish a connection between the ridge above and the pond below. The Kickapoo Village rewrites the definition of a cabin village while highlighting the beauty and dynamism of the Illinois landscape.
