Kelly & Stone Architects, together with Loverde Builders, have designed this spectacular mountain retreat situated in the Martis Camp community of Truckee, California. The exterior of this home features clear cedar, sandstone, walnut–trimmed windows, and copper shingles. Scenic views of the Northstar Ski Slopes have been maximized throughout this dwelling.
The homeowner requested capturing and celebrating the picturesque surroundings, which the architects did. The integration of elegant glass walls by Dynamic Fenestration helped make this vision a reality. Surrounding this 3,250 square foot home, the beautifully landscaped property features a stream that meanders under the bridged walkway. Continue below to see more of this fabulous home tour…
