Walton Architecture together with Sarah Jones Design has designed this chic mountain house getaway located in Martis Camp, a luxury private enclave in Truckee, California. Spanning 6,790 square feet of living space, this dwelling is every bit the embodiment of the typical modern Tahoe lodge. It’s a home that is meant to be enjoyed by lots of family and friends.

The overall design conveys a sophisticated style, yet the residence offers supreme function and practicality. The lines and architecture of this home are very clean and very modern. The architect created an extraordinary structure, perfectly capturing the gorgeous wooded surroundings. The project team took just under 18 months to transform the homeowner’s idea of a dream home into a reality.

The homeowners have a busy family with three children and wanted a home that would be warm and welcoming when they were visiting on their own, yet would expand seamlessly when hosting guests. To accommodate this, all five bedrooms were designed to be very open and spacious, with several built-ins and trundle beds.

The result of this functional design has created sleeping spaces for a seven to eight-bedroom house. The homeowners wished for a mountain contemporary home, yet they also loved Adirondack-style cabins. It was the interior designer’s task to combine both modern and traditional elements.

What We Love: The overall aesthetic of this chic mountain house is warm and inviting with a dash of whimsy and fun. We are just loving how the spaces harmoniously flow from one to the next, with beautiful materials and cozy textures throughout. This home radiates with style, bright pops of color, and playful elements, this is a dream home in an even dreamier location!

Above: This large living space could have felt overwhelming, yet the designer grounded the space by placing sofas—covered in a sumptuous toffee hued Lee Jofa fabric—back-to-back. There are also several distinct seating areas as well as a game table. The Carousel Chandelier is by McLain Wiesand, featuring an exquisite French rubbed steel frame with hand antiqued convex mirrors.

Above: The home’s crisp, clean lines frame spectacular Tahoe views. The dining room features a floor-to-ceiling hearth, flanked by soaring windows. The dining table was custom designed, surrounded by Alder & Co. chairs with a distressed black walnut finish. The fabrics are from Pindler & Pindler and Schumacher Jones (stripe fabric). The white ceramic chandelier is from Roll & Hill, which echoes the antler motifs of the window treatments.

Above: The kitchen melds form and function. While it is sleek and sophisticated, it is expertly equipped to handle a crowd with ease. The island bar stools are covered with faux leather for easy maintenance. The Italian glass pendant lights over the island are from Contardi. There is also an adjacent pantry to store kitchen appliances along with beverage drawers.
