tahoe ski chalet
This home was designed as a classic swiss chalet, with the main living spaces organized around a soaring living room, with game room, kitchen, and dining opening into the main space. The exterior is a classic swiss mountain home, with simple gabled roof designed to shed snow and expressed heavy timber supports like the authentic swiss homes on the slopes of the alps. The interior is composed of simple wood beamed ceilings with reclaimed swiss barn flooring and highly decorative painting executed by french painters in the manner of historic swiss family homes.
This home was designed by Greg while employed at John Malick and Associates.
