Donner Lake Cabin
Vacation Home by Form + Field in Truckee, CA
A couple based in San Francisco wanted to invest in their beloved Tahoe cabin so that they could enjoy it for years to come. The goal was to strike a balance between keeping the character of the house and leaning into a modern style. We took inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese design and mixed in a nostalgic 70s summer camp vibe with the color and material palette. The house needed to sleep more people so we added a bedroom suite, a bunk room, and a bathroom, in addition to creating a new mudroom for ski and snow gear.
