BUCKI QUONSET

The Bucki is a custom Quonset-style home engineered to thrive in the demanding winter climates of the Midwest while providing a warm, resilient, and inspiring living environment. Its curved steel shell and high-performance envelope offer superior snow-shedding capability, airtightness, and thermal efficiency—ensuring comfort and energy savings throughout the coldest months. The home’s layout balances practicality and purpose: a commercial-grade kitchen supports a home canning business with durable, easy-to-clean surfaces and ample workspace, while an adjacent home office provides a quiet, technology-integrated environment for consulting work. Designed for universal accessibility, the first-floor master suite offers barrier-free convenience and long-term adaptability, making the Bucki an ideal age-in-place residence that evolves with its owners’ needs.

Drawing inspiration from WELL Building principles and Japanese design philosophy, the Bucki includes a serene tatami-inspired meditation space that fosters mental clarity and calm through natural materials, soft daylight, and minimalist design. Wellness extends outdoors, where an exterior patio with hot tub and pergola invites year-round relaxation and connection to nature, and a covered outdoor kitchen and porch create a seamless transition between indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment. Every detail—from radiant in-floor heating and low-emitting finishes to the orientation for solar gain and cross ventilation—reflects a commitment to physical health, emotional balance, and environmental sustainability. The Bucki stands as a testament to modern living—beautifully simple, deeply functional, and built to endure.
