Project: Idea House 2007

Location: Lake Tahoe, California

Builder: Robert Marr Construction

Product: Reclaimed redwood siding, timber and bunk beds


The Sunset Lake Tahoe Idea House takes its design cues from the breathtaking scenery that surrounds it. The house embraces a courtyard (with the front door at the center) and follows a meandering path of discovery with unique diversions along the way, like the screened porch off the kitchen and the sun terrace off the living room. Reclaimed redwood, stone, and other natural materials highlight this breathtaking home.
