Architecture studio Land to Living has transformed an aging property into a midcentury modern mountain retreat in Alpine Meadows, in North Lake Tahoe, California. The home is called “Hazel’s Hideaway”, which was once the summer hideaway of the 1940’s Hollywood actress, Hazel Court Taylor. 

Modernizing the function, enhancing the experience of nature, and paying homage to Hazel’s glamorous yet rugged spirit were paramount to the vision for this mountain dwelling. The architects added just under 2,000 square feet to the original structure, which now boasts three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and a two-car garage.

The addition of a garage, kitchen and outdoor living space created possibilities for expanded private areas and open living areas.  The visual impact of the addition was mitigated by enveloping the garage and kitchen with a living roof of high alpine succulents to blend with the landscape.

The exterior features a one-of-a-kind copper roof as well as a green roof on another section, and copper paneled chimneys.

A wall of windows that extends from the ground to the main level eventually angles over the great room to become a skylight, allowing for a view of the surrounding mountains. Wall paneling throughout is a wire-brushed engineered Sapele while ceilings and posts are cedar.

Embodying Hazel’s spirit, a carefully curated collection of the actress’s movie memorabilia, decor, and her own sculptures and tools were set against a subtly glamorous palette of finishes and bespoke furnishings.

Willing to pay for these house plans! How can I get them? Who is the architect? We live in Virginia. Wanting to build in the Blue Ridge Mountains at Wintergreen Resort. We have the land. Hoping to build in a couple years when we become empty nesters. This is exactly what we’re looking for!

This is a gorgeous home no doubt. My husband and I are considering buying property and building our dream home in this area. Now with climate change and fires, we are concerned that this is not a good idea. How has this home faired? Is this much wood a bad idea?
