LAKE TAHOE HEARTH
Mountain Home Award 2024
With stunning views of Lake Tahoe, this three-story home balances between the rustic and refined transitional aesthetic. Vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows on the south-facing facade beautifully frame the glistening blue expanse that forefronts the distant peaks along the horizon. Large sliding patio doors at the terrace, covered patio, and outdoor room also contribute to blending indoors and outdoors.
The interior features a double-story Great Room at the Main Level adjacent to an open Kitchen-Family Room and large Office. The Lake Level showcases a Game Room and Golf Simulator/Theater along with a Spa and Exercise Room. Upstairs there’s plenty of dwelling space between the large Bunk Room and Studio. The Master Suite encompasses sweeping views of the lake, opening out to a private deck.

GOLD JACKSON SQUARE
48 Gold Street is an office building located within the Jackson Square Historic District. The proposed work included remodeling the existing two floors to remain as office space and adding an additional floor above to make more room for offices and support areas. This new third level has an open bridge area that overlooks the open work space of the second floor. The roof features a new linear skylight that brings in natural light to the center of the building.

The initial design of this space proposed adding an additional two floors above the existing office space to contain a single living unit. The third level contained a Kitchen, Dining Area Family Room, Outdoor Terrace and Utility Room while the fourth level featured an open balcony space ringed by two bedrooms and a loft-style office alcove. The roof contained a terrace as well as an area for mechanical equipment.

A classy rustic yet elegant studio in White Salmon, Washington offers a quiet getaway for enjoying all four seasons of the Pacific Northwest climate. The primary suite at the upper level features beautiful views of Mount Hood and the surrounding Cascade Mountain Range.
Off of the sleeping area is a sitting deck that also serves as an entry space to the studio. Below is a nicely curved outdoor shower detailed to mimic the two-story privacy screen extending up to the deck area. Other unique details include live edge bench, desk, and shelves and large exterior barn doors made from trees on the property.

WHiTE SALMON
Nestled in the beautifully wooded campus of Humboldt State University (now Cal Poly Humboldt) this 1,950 sf one-story addition accommodated flexible space to extend the Schatz Energy Research Center’s (SERC) lab area.
The addition ties into the existing lab building’s utilities and is separated by an exterior corridor. An open office layout with a large conference room provides a dedicated area for sponsored research projects.
The building’s location takes of advantage of the wooded area to filter the southern and western sunlight and also provides a noise buffer. Cross ventilation and ample daylighting were utilized within the design to reduce its energy footprint. LEED v4 Gold Checklist was used to guide the project’s sustainable standards.

STUDENT HOUSiNG PROJECT SiTE STUDY
Suarez-Kuehne Architecture was asked to lead a Student Housing Project Site Study collaborating with Humboldt State University (now Cal-Poly Humboldt) and their team of consultants. The intent of the study was to examine potential building sites for the future increments of student housing at HSU.
Decisions were based on the most effective and economical solutions as well as issues including: location relative to HSU master plan goals, slope, soil suitability, sun access, existing trees, access to dining facilities, and cost constraints. A total of eight sites were evaluated (four 600 Bed and four 200 Bed) involving preliminary massing studies and qualitative program analysis.
