Schaffer's Mill.

Our practice in North Lake Tahoe, applied to Schaffer's Mill.

Martis Camp anchors the market as the most consistently active custom-luxury community in the Sierra. Schaffer's Mill, Northstar, Palisades Tahoe, and the lakeside neighborhoods of Tahoe City and Homewood extend the footprint. Our delivery model is travel-based from Montecito (or NorCal once operational) with a retained local project manager triggered when the book reaches three active projects.

The aesthetic reference we pull from here is not alpine modernism (Bates Masi, CCY Architects, Olson Kundig's mountain work) but a quieter, warmer tradition — the alpine Mediterranean hybrids of Carver + Schicketanz in Carmel, JLF Architects' Jackson Hole work at its most restrained, and select Sun Valley residences by Studio Schicketanz. Our mountain work should feel as rooted as a Montecito estate feels to the coast.
