Featured on NanaWall: The Snowflake lodge is a remote ski-in ski-out prefabricated modular lodge with stunning views of Crystal Mountain. The home is defined by its remote location and generous glazing. Its large floor-to-ceiling windows and bifold glass doors allow the residents to take in the beauty of the surrounding mountains from all directions and function as an extension of the home, all while performing for the extreme weather.

The Northstar Yoga Studio, in collaboration with grouparchitect, won a Sunset Magazine Mountain Magic Architecture Award! This peaceful, remote yoga studio is tucked away in the trees and built onto a steep slope at Mountainside at Northstar Lake Tahoe, CA. We constructed the mass timber studio modularly and the large deck extending the classroom to the outdoors was completed onsite.

A home we are building with Marmol Radziner has been featured in Architectural Digest in their Case Study: Adapt initiative highlighting the different ways families are rebuilding their homes after the LA Fires.
The home (Case Study 2: Low House), built for a family of musicians, will be composed of 11 prefabricated modules. It is designed with fire safety in mind, using non-combustible materials, such as thermally modified wood, cement board panels, and green corrugated metal on theexterior and minimizing windows along the north side of the house where it could be vulnerable to the winds that exacerbated the Palisadesfires. The home is designed to not only be efficient and resilient, but to help rebuild a sense of community. The front porch opening up from the music studio was designed to be a place for the Lows to once again host outdoor concerts for their neighborsand friends as they had during the pandemic.
The article by Sam Cochran highlights these design choices as well as the advantages of themodular construction process for fire rebuilds, as it can avoid labor shortages since whole components are assembled offsite.
