Overview of Project

To tear down and rebuild a 1920’s old Tahoe Lodge Style home. The rebuild would be a larger, modernized Lodge style home with a similar layout and architectural features as the original. This family owned home was to be built to accommodate large gatherings of family and friends. To create and provide a comfortable, relaxed and warm inviting environment to unwind and recharge. The home was to take advantage of the 180 feet of water front and to bring the outside into the home. The home was also to show case the family’s many original art works which include statues, paintings and objects. A detached garage with mother-in law unit above and basement with wine cellar were to be built.

Unique features

• The furniture was designed with the Owners involvement and built specifically for each room and was built using reclaimed timbers some of which date back to the 1700’s.
• Both masonry fireplaces are flanked by heavy slab granite fire boxes and each are used to show case art. The flooring is hand milled and hand honed hickory.
• The Builder removed a hand painted tile map of Lake Tahoe from the 1920’s from the original house fireplace rock work and installed it as the center piece of the wine cellar and presented it to the unsuspecting Owners as a gift.
• Hand selected and gathered local granite stone from the eastern slope from privately owned land used at all walls and columns, also at all steps, patios and decks the stone is used as curbs, a unique touch.
