...built on a rock outcropping high in the Martis Valley, this family retreat overlooks the Carson range including Mount Rose and Lookout Mountain of Northstar Ski Resort.

Free-flowing space and a connectedness to the outdoors through large glazed openings allow the sun and views to pour into this design. An organic palette of material includes reclaimed site native stone, steel siding and screens, maple cabinetry, reclaimed redwood and glass. Numerous skylights and glass floors allow light to penetrate deep into interior spaces. The clean, daylit, understated interior offers an appropriate and timely choice in mountain architecture.
