Summary
2009 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Third Place
Significance: Located on the northern shores of Lake Michigan, in the state of Wisconsin, is an isolated retreat center with a small, Scandinavian inspired chapel. It was conceived and built in the 1930s by a Chicago immigrant couple who had no training in architecture or construction. This small unusual chapel exists today as a profound, and highly personal attempt to combine architecture and nature in a simple, transcendent spiritual relationship.
