modern-cabin-entry

This cozy A-Frame cabin retreat was designed by Evolve Design Works, nestled among the ponderosas and sugar pines of North Lake Tahoe, California. This family getaway home combines a quintessential cabin with a modern retreat. Drawing inspiration from the natural surroundings, the project team balanced minimalism with homey and vintage finds.

Inside the 2,800 square foot floor plan, you will find space-saving selections that would help the owners easily accommodate their extended family. Highlights include five bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, a loft, a family room, a spacious laundry room, and plenty of storage areas.

This cabin was modeled after the European Passive Haus concept. The energy efficiency and interior environment far exceed California standards. The clean, modern finishes create a bright and airy space while still maintaining a cozy cabin vibe. Large triple pane windows provide an abundance of natural light throughout and wonderful views of the large pines.

The home combines classic cabin elements such as the a-frame structure, cedar exterior, exposed beams, and wood ceilings along with clean lines and modern updates such as minimal black metal window frames, slab panel doors, and fresh white walls. These elements help to keep the space feeling bright and current while providing an idyllic setting for modern, minimal furnishings.

The densely forested surroundings inspired the layered wood finishes used in this cabin, including the thick cedar-slab dining table to the redwood exterior.

What We Love: This cabin retreat in Tahoe provides a wonderful respite for family and friends to gather in the tranquility of a forested landscape. The floor plan was devised to live larger than its size with clever design tricks to make this home feel open and airy. Large windows frame the captivating views while flooding this home with natural light. Overall, we are loving the design of this warm and inviting escape.
