SANDBOX Studio in collaboration with KTG Design has created this house with a Tahoe mountain aesthetic located in the Martis Camp neighborhood near Truckee, California. This home was designed as a retreat for the owners and their extended family to gather in the summer and winter. The vision for this design was a blend of California wine country style mixed with a Tahoe mountain aesthetic.
To create this look, the project team employed materials of native Sierra granite, basalt, and reclaimed wood for the timbers, beams, and barnwood siding. Interior living spaces are brimming with warmth thanks to the wood floors and ceilings and all of the wood accents throughout. Encompassing 6,903 square feet, there are six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms in this beautiful home.

The walls mimic the look of Venetian plaster using a material called ‘micro-topping’, a thin concrete overlay for interior surfaces. Since this material is a marine grade (waterproof), it was applied to the kitchen and bathrooms. Covering most of the walls in this home, it is applied using a trowel over drywall.

Spacious interiors are perfect for hosting large family gatherings during the summer and long winter months. The region offers plenty of outdoor activities and magnificent scenery to make this the ultimate mountain getaway.
