Contemporary Mountain Home-Ward Young Architecture-01-1 Kindesign

This modern mountain style home was designed by Ward-Young Architecture & Planning, located in the Martis Camp neighborhood of Truckee, California. The dwelling showcases expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, designed to maximize the surrounding mountain views and flood the home with natural light.

Additional highlights to the architectural design includes: massive lift-slide doors, and soaring curved rooflines. This helps to blur the boundaries between indoors and out, while capturing the picturesque views. Material elements integrated throughout the home entails: stone, steel, copper, cedar and mahogany for beauty, durability, and low-maintenance.

The home was designed to center around an open and spacious kitchen, featuring soaring ceilings and a modern yet warm feeling. The interior spaces also includes a getaway media/après ski room, a yoga loft, steam room, and a fabulous master bedroom suite.

Scottsdale-based IMI Design Studio was commissioned to focus on the interiors of the project. Combining luxury with eye-catching details and modern amenities, the team created a comfortable and relaxing mountain retreat. According to the architects, this project was the recipient of the “Merit Award” for the 2012 Tahoe Quarterly Magazine’s Mountain Home Awards.

What We Love: This modern mountain style retreat features some pretty incredible design elements, from mix of materials to the furnishings and light fixtures. Visual eye-candy is abound in this home, including the beauty of the surrounding outdoor environment. We are loving all of the repetitive curves, from the roofline to the kitchen countertop/island and the living room sofa… readers, what do you think of this mountain pad?

Looks like there are three “lift-slide doors” in the living room. Its sometimes hard to get a full perspective with the angles of the photographs.

yes, I was counting levers. in the third photo, I saw a lift-slide lever on the right side. in the seventh photo I see that to the left of that lift-slide there is a second lift-slide whose lever was hidden in the third photo. the second lift-slide appears to open in the opposite direction to the first lift-slide. referring again to the third photo, I think that the third lift-slide is left of the fireplace but I can’t see a lever. it does appear that the third lift-slide must open in the same direction as the first lift-slide or I… Read more »
