Zak Architecture together with Sarah Jones Interior Design has designed this sensational modern-rustic mountain house, situated in the Martis Camp neighborhood of Truckee, California. The dwelling features an exquisite composition of four free-standing buildings, inter-connected by three glass bridges. With a downwards-sloping property, the architects devised the dwelling’s shed roof to slope upwards, capturing sweeping vistas of Martis Valley and beyond to the spectacular Carson Range. This allows for an ever-changing skyscape as the sunset reflects off the mountains. Continue below to see the rest of this spectacular home tour…

DESIGN DETAILS: ARCHITECT Zak Architecture INTERIOR DESIGN Sarah Jones Interior Design BUILDER Jim Morrison Construction

Encompassing 6,352 square feet of living space, this residence boasts five bedrooms, and five-and-a-half bathrooms. The 48-foot-wide Great Room features glass doors that slide away to connect to an exterior deck of equal width, creating one unified indoor-outdoor living area set high within the trees. Materials were selected for their durability and appropriateness to the Sierra Nevada and the Lake Tahoe area.

What We Love: This modern-rustic mountain house offers stunning views and light-filled interiors thanks to expansive walls of glass. The large great room is the centerpiece of this home design, showcasing decadent furnishings, fixtures, and accessories. The heavy use of wood adds warmth to this otherwise contemporary interior floor plan. The layout of this home, connected by bridges, affords the luxury of privacy, with guest spaces and main living spaces separated from the owner’s private spaces.

Tell Us: We would love to hear your thoughts on the overall design and layout of this home. Do you think it was a success? Tell us in the Comments!
