About LINDAL

---

Comprised of former faculty and graduates of the School of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Turkel Design is a small, approachable residential design practice based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

In 2005, founding partner Joel Turkel was on of just three designers selected by Dwell magazine to create homes exclusively for the Dwell brand. Four years later, Turkel Design was again asked to contribute new designs to the 2009 Dwell Homes Collection in partnership with Lindal Cedar Homes.

In the 60's Sir Walter Lindal was granted a US patent for the A-frame design, a design that truly revolutionized vacation homes replacing small randomly placed windows with a two story window wall of glass and a high, steep pitched gable roof.  

In 2010 we introduced Lindal Elements. True to the spirit of Sir Walter's original, the Lindal Elements style is bold, compact and, like the original, features a full height glass wall.  Many of the new designs feature an open loft.  Our Lindal Elements begin with a series of three predesigned blocks in a variety of sizes ranging from 1,200 sq. ft.  to 1,900 sq. ft.
