A lovely home for a family of four, Burnt Cedar by California practice Faulkner Architects is located along the idyllic environs of Lake Tahoe, nestled among towering Jeffrey and Ponderosa pine trees.

The home’s simple box form is timeless. Free from gimmicks, the dwelling is minimalist and contemporary, boasting a modern aesthetic that never goes out of style. Full height windows create a link between the indoors and outdoors, and its airy double-height interiors draw one’s vision to views of the trees and the lake. Matching the magnificence of its surroundings, the interior is decorated with furnishings of subdued palettes that blend in with its material portfolio of wood, steel, concrete and glass. This stately dwelling fully embraces Faulker Architects’ aesthetic of highly-crafted, site sensitive projects. More on their website and Instagram.
