Model 05 · The Cedar Works Cabin Collection

The Cedar.

The flagship. 1,100 to 1,300 sq ft engineered as a four-season family cabin on the North Shore — room to gather, room to grow, and the Works SIPS envelope tuned for the coldest Minnesota winters.

Flagship The Cedar

The flagship.
Cabin as home.

The Cedar is what happens when the Collection stops being weekend architecture and becomes a real home. Two or three bedrooms, two full baths, a full four-season envelope, and enough gathering space that Christmas doesn't feel cramped.

Same Precision-Engineered Cabin System underneath — just scaled to the demands of full-time living on the North Shore. This is the model Works recommends when the cabin is going to be the address on the driver's license.

Conceptual floor plan

Three bedrooms. One great room.

Great room + kitchen anchor the plan, with a primary suite off one side and two more bedrooms (or bedroom + bunk room) off the other. Full-wrap porch on two or three sides depending on your site orientation.
