We are excited to share a progress update on the Squirrel Hill project, “Tower House.” The interior construction is nearing completion, and it has been incredible to see the vision come to life.

As the project has evolved, there have been a few thoughtful changes from the original plan. Most notably, the building has been designed for four-season use, allowing it to be enjoyed year-round.

The interior is now finished in beautiful knotty pine, creating a warm yet refined atmosphere. The windows have been installed, offering remarkable 360-degree views and filling the space with natural light. We are currently in the process of ordering furnishings, which will reflect a clean-lined Scandinavian aesthetic to complement the simplicity and warmth of the interior architecture.

On the exterior, the stonework will be completed in 2026. Decisions regarding  the surrounding landscape are still being finalized. We are hopeful for a 2026 completion date.

One completed, the Tower House will be available to rent for special events through Minocqua Winter Park.

We are thrilled to share this very special place with the community. This project has been made possible through the generous support of an anonymous donor, and we are deeply grateful for their commitment. Thank you to Jane Mitchell, Dave Kozeluh, Jon Hollander, and Jim Fieck for their hard work on this project. 

More updates to come as we move closer to completion.
