Very excited to finally share this project we completed at the end of 2024, recently featured on Dwell+ (https://tinyurl.com/ycyw8p57). Grateful to our good friends and even better clients & for the collaborative process. This project is all about peeling back the layers, uncovering what was there and let nature be part of the architecture. We are really proud of this one and even happier knowing that our clients truly enjoy their new home everyday. Thank you .chino and for sharing the project and the story behind it. And to all the other collaborators who brought it to life.

Making sure the view is being perfectly framed in…

Perched lightly on a steep, wooded slope in June Lake, this cabin retreat is designed to tread gently on the land while immersing its occupants in the surrounding alpine landscape. Elevated on slender stilts and anchored between glacial boulders, the form splits into two gabled volumes that echo the language of traditional mountain cabins, distilled into a refined, modern expression. A stepped path winds through three magnificent old growth juniper trees, creating a slow, immersive arrival sequence that reinforces a sense of retreat and reverence for the site. Framing views of the stream below and the peaks beyond, the architecture balances quiet precision with the raw, enduring beauty of the Eastern Sierra.

Anchored into granite outcrops above a steep hillside, the cabin lifts lightly over the terrain, minimizing its footprint on a slope scattered with sagebrush, lichen-covered rock, and native alpine plants. Floor-to-ceiling window walls dissolve the line between inside and out, framing views of towering pines and beyond, letting the forest become part of daily life. The design balances restraint with immersion, placing the structure gently within its rugged surroundings without taking it over.

We are super excited to break ground on our June Lake cabin project later this month. Situated on a sloped terrain between June Lake and Silver Lake, the cabin is precisely oriented to frame uninterrupted views toward Carson Peak. the architectural intervention is kept to a minimal, allowing the structure to embed itself within the landscape without dominating it, a sensitive engagement with the environment - preserving existing vegetation, responding to the site’s natural drainage while emphasize horizontality to echo the distant ridgelines. The project is a study in restraints, contextual responses, and material honesty. The result is a spatial experience defined by light, landscape and leisure.
