LAKE TAHOE | CABIN(S)
The Lake Tahoe Cabins is comprised of three discrete structures that traverse the rugged and complex Crystal Bay shoreline. Each cabin is strategically arranged around the site’s elemental intricacies with distinct connections to the Tahoe landscape and lakefront below.

The individual structures are linked by a glazed bridge whose footprint kinks precisely around a mass of prehistoric Sierra granite. The unique arrangement of cabins creates recreational alcoves before approaching the lake.

The dark-grey rough stacked-slate exterior is capped with crisply contrasting white stucco. A pivot-style all-glass front door and surround welcomes you to the modern West Coast lifestyle, framing a view through the house to the hills beyond.... More
