South Lake Tahoe Residence
Completed 2023
Approximately 2500 s.f. including Garage
Built on an existing foundation and expanded to include a 2 car Garage, this home is essentially a new home.
Originally built in 1971, by our client’s grandparents, the classic Tahoe ski cabin was in poor shade and largely unused for some time before we started looking at ways to redesign. To our client, retaining elements such as the river rock fireplace and vaulted ceiling were important to the good memories she had spending time here. We were able to retain and rework the fireplace, and recreated a new and larger vaulted ceiling to encompass a new common Kitchen, Living and Dining area. The home now has two new Primary Bedroom suites, Bunk Rooms, Bathroom, Powder Room, a 2-Car Garage and a new secret Loft for a Play Room. An important quality of this new home is the single floor layout with year-round access to a covered and open exterior Deck with Hot Tub.
