Two Architects Build a Chalet-Style Getaway
After vacationing in the Sierra Nevada near Donner Summit for years, architects Sherry Scott and John Kosich built their 1,900-square-foot concrete, wood, and stone home in the mountains of California near Lake Tahoe. Home owners Sherry and John discuss the environmental and construction challenges of their part-time home.

A truly beautiful house, beautifully built and designed!
The library is brilliant use of space! Love it. And the drawers for bottles of oils, sauce etc! Love that detail.
It looks welcoming and has a nice flow while still being able to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. The lighter tone wood gives it a calming feel.
Imagine getting married to someone who loves what you love😍😍

Beautiful home, reminds me of the chalets built in the 80's.
The segmentation and division of spaces are very well planned I am much amazed on the details and in-depth meanings of the walls, ceiling, and vision-observation access strategies thru emphasis and subtractions. As a first-year architecture student, I am rather inspired to work and think like these two professionals. As expected from architects.
Chalet houses are my alltime favorite house type. Like a rich man's log cabin. Same home-y touch, but better.
Beautiful!
will be visiting lake tahoe in a few weeks.... Can't wait!
wonderful view from the house, design style relative to surrounding environment,
Well done design. It fits into the landscape. If I were to replace my current log home I think I would do something similar.
A big thumbs up. Well done
lovely place and lovely couple
Gorgeous, dream house.
My favorites from the tour would absolutely be the lighting and the other interior design elements. The house itself I find of secondary interest. Too many stairs that they will regret in a few years including for the dog as it ages, though probably necessary because of the site.
very beautiful
Omg with a capital OMG….love love love it….. amazing!
Beautiful home and people and ❤dog 🤓
Nice, Beautiful Dream House ❤
Love it because it is such a cozy cabin, and not some huge massive space.

I don't know if I'd call it cozy. The floor plan is on the smaller side (compared with the absurdly sized American houses these days), but the massive vaulted ceilings are a far cry from the small or cozy chalets that have been built in the Alps for centuries. Still a beautiful home nonetheless.
Beautiful house, you guys! 😁
I like the place.. so cozy, clean, peaceful… i wonder if it would stay like that once i take my 3 teenagers in that place..
This is beautiful! I wish I knew where I could get that huge sliding door that they have to replace my sticky wood sliders
Lovely house
I bet the drywall guys loved doing those window casings!
A truly beautiful house and small request can we take this hose plane.
Curious if the selection of asphalt shingles was a functional choice or budget decision?
It would be useful to update on this house report. I like the 1900sqft space. The description says "discuss the environmental construction challenges" but in this brief five minute video, that topic was not mentioned. : ) It would be most useful to hear about locally sourced sustainable materials. Important topics: 1) wildfire precautions and defensible space, fireproof materials (roof and siding,) water storage (for fire suppression and survival) 2) energy efficiency (insulation, hvac, water usage, grey water recycling, solar, battery, generator) 3) air quality, water quality 4) durability (materials and products (e.g. doors) resistance to weathering and seasonal loads from summer heat to snow) 5) maintenance (e.g. keeping drains and gutters clear, roof, chimneys) 6) livability (year round comfort, e.g. indoor temperature regulation, access, e.g. plowing or snow melt) As someone building in Olympic Valley, it's difficult to find people conversant with these "basics" of present day construction. It's even more difficult to find examples of projects (started or finished) that employ state of the art methods and practices.
i notice that architects always add, "space" onto the end of every room... e.g. study space, instead of just study. Here, they've used it 16 times in 5 minutes

I'm an architect and it's true 😂
Are we all going to pretend that the Poulson fixture was not in their budget? Nice video though, that part made me chuckle
Wow, what kind of wood is that?
lets go
The design is intriguing. How can I contact them?
I liked the idea of having the garage let out into the foyer so the owner of the house gets to see a grand entrance day to day.
Nice looking home. Not sure about the need for so many levels. Carrying groceries up several flights of stairs gets old fast. I like the use of stonework on the exterior a lot more than the relatively unexciting interior. I'd liked to have heard more about energy efficiency/air-tightness/healthy materials of the building itself.

Why is master bed so narrow?
no parties!
GOOD. HOUSE. G. AND. DOG
No mention of children or "the kids loved this" or "we designed this for our firstborn"
So many stairs for a retirement-era home. But lovely nonetheless.
Безусловно, дом красив! И вписывается в природный ландшафт. Но внутренняя отделка, заставляет по нервничать. Уж слишком противоречивые цвета.
First :)
Love the wood, hate the exposed concrete, so so about the white sheetrock... it's OK but not very imaginative or special. Outside, again the exposed concrete kinda kills the aesthetic that the rock was working so hard to provide.

I like the concrete, to each their own...
