WORKS IN PROGRESS

HILLTOP REMODEL

An existing Nevada home perched on a hilltop overlooking Lake Tahoe will undergo significant modifications and additions without increasing its land coverage or building height. Along with a full interior remodel, a redefined entry will lead guests into the upstairs living spaces, a new bedroom suite will cantilever over the existing driveway, a new sunny rooftop deck will provide 360° views, and new expansive glass openings will capture the dramatic Lake Tahoe scenery.

Currently in design, with construction expected to begin early 2027.

SADDLE HOUSE

This project seeks to maximize the potential of a dated, 3-story residence near Heavenly Ski Resort with outstanding views of Lake Tahoe and Mt. Tallac. In addition to a full gut interior remodel, a reshaped roofline and redesigned entry will improve the curb appeal, and new cantilevered floors with floor to ceiling windows will add new living space and offer unobstructed views. Large sliding doors, expanded sun-facing decks and corrected drainage issues will create the seamless indoor-outdoor living expected of a California mountain home

Currently in design, with construction expected to begin 2027.

ASTER STATION

The "Gas Station of the Future", a midcentury modern/service station inspired coffee shop and roastery, will replace a decommissioned gas station at a prominent intersection in South Lake Tahoe, and serve as a neighborhood and human-powered transportation hub. The project will include various indoor and outdoor spaces for eating & drinking, social interaction, remote work, and events, as well as bike tuning/charging and water refill stations.

AL TAHOE RESIDENCE

South Lake Tahoe, CA

Designed for a vacant corner lot, this custom vacation home makes smart use of approximately 1,800 square feet of living space. At the owners' request, this home's design reflects both the classic character of Al Tahoe, South Lake Tahoe's oldest neighborhood, while introducing enough contemporary touches to create a modern appeal. A lofted kids' room above the kitchen overlooks a large great room with exposed trusses, creating an oversized sense of space on an otherwise narrow lot.
