Today, I got to visit two Martis Camp homes that I’ll be writing up for Tahoe Quarterly. Both are incredible homes—the first, designed by architect Ted Brobst of Ward-Young, creates a contemporary retreat utilizing hot rolled steel, Western red cedar and ledgestone. The second, designed by Scott Gillespie of SANDBOX and built by Mark Tanner Construction, is the perfect family getaway, complete with a bunk room, sleeping porch and great outdoor spaces. At the second home, I had to opportunity to meet the wonderful homeowner and one of her sons, and the two of them were more than welcoming, showing me around, telling stories and even entertaining Audrey, who was my little work buddy for the day. The TQ Home issue is my personal favorite of the year, featuring the area’s best architects, builders and designers. I’ve got two more homes to tour and write up, but in the meantime, find links to some of the articles I’ve written for issues past here, here and here!
