Located on an expansive property in Truckee, California, this 4,500-square-foot residence and accompanying outbuildings are conceived as a sustainable family compound designed for off-grid living. Developed for a growing family, the project carefully integrates on-site power generation and utility systems with an architectural approach that is both environmentally responsive and deeply rooted in the character of the site.

Energy efficiency, resilience, and sustainability are central to the design, with building strategies and material selections chosen to support long-term performance without compromising architectural clarity or aesthetic refinement. The layout is carefully composed to balance spaces for gathering and entertaining with the rhythms of family life and the need for privacy. The result is a modern mountain residence that pairs self-sufficiency with warmth, livability, and a strong sense of place.
