Cypress Run is an exclusive duck hunting collective in the marshy wetlands of eastern Arkansas. The design of this lodge is a study in material and construction logic as rooted in place. The linear, exaggerated forms are derived from the nature of a duck in flight. Rich walls of stone and cypress represent the material nature of the site. Orientation and site lines reinforce the migration patterns of the duck as muse, directing attention towards the wetland views from the grand interior and exterior spaces that are suited for accommodating the fellowship and function of the hunting club.
