The door started as a drawing. The sidelight was already there in the plan, so the question became: why fix it in place?

Making it operable changed everything. Close it and the entry feels considered. Open both panels and the house opens to itself... a clear line from the front door straight through to the lake.

At a certain scale, hospitality isn't just about the rooms guests see. It's about everything behind them.

Six washing machines, floor drains, built-in drying space, tile throughout. We designed these laundry rooms around the relentless rhythm of a house with over 20 guests.

Every detail is centered around the reality of what it takes to keep houses like this running.

We ask every family what coming home should feel like. Then we work with the whole project team (the architect, masons, material suppliers, and more) to infuse that exact feeling into the arrival.

From before to after...

In the main living space, updated furnishings, textured basalt stone, and a custom modern antler chandelier helped shift the home into a more intentional mountain cabin design.

Some homes can't be saved, only honored. The ceilings were too low, the structure too far gone. The only real option was to start over.

But for a family that had built decades of life inside these walls, starting over didn't mean starting from scratch. The living room is where it always was. The master bedroom faces the same direction. The lake is still framed the same way from the same places.

A completely new house that still feels like coming home.

We designed these rooms so that childhood wonder and grown up refinement share the same four walls.

This home already had the bones: strong millwork, soaring windows, and incredible Mammoth Lakes views. Our goal was to refine what was already there, bringing in warmth, texture, and a stronger connection to the surrounding landscape.

We design for how our clients actually live, and that means spaces where fresh flowers become part of the daily ritual.

When choosing a certain flower for a space, we're thinking about the feeling and the colors of the home... the goal is to speak to the personality of the house.

The dark, hand-applied plaster was Corinne's instinct from the start. A deliberate tension that pulls you through the hallway and releases you into the ski room beyond. The doors framing the entrance to the ski room belonged to the client's grandfather's estate.

Every material in this project has a reason. Most of them have a story.

The ask was "macrame." It took a few conversations to understand what that actually meant... something textural.

From there, the collaboration began. Fiber artist Andrea Graham works between nomadic and modern feltmaking traditions, and together we developed a piece built from what already existed outside: the moss-covered rocks, the lichen, the water moving beneath them toward the lake.
