Situated within the grand Wisconsin River Valley in fabled Spring Green is a home like no other. Completed in 2020, the first-built Poem Home is a modest home with a modern sensibility. At only 1208 square feet, the home is spacious, with a linear kitchen tucked under a loft and two bedroom suites flanking a generous living area. The home offers a feeling of shelter and a life integrated with nature.

The home is super-insulated and net-zero. Indoor air is healthful, with building materials and finishes selected for their non-toxic content. Rustic wood, stone walls, and raw concrete contrast with more polished surfaces and furnishings to create an authentic and appealing atmosphere that blends inside space to outside space.
