One of Truckee’s newest grocery stores with attached multifamily housing units is located where Donner Pass Road meets

Highway 89, across from the Gateway Mountain Center. The project goal was to add to the character and urban design quality of the Gateway area. The project is an integrated mixed-use development that is pedestrian and bicycle friendly to help add to a townwide connection. This ro ect aimed to reflect the charm and interest of historic downtown while also providing much needed workforce housing and a contemporary modern funk aesthetic.

The exterior of the building is a mix of sidings with varied forms to create interest and go beyond a typical big box store aesthetic and includes a variety of low maintenance materials from stone and brick to corrugated and Corten metals. Steel columns add a modern and industrial touch and the Corten metals blend seamlessly into the siding. Wood gap board at the residences visually separates the residential use from the commercial while adding a touch of warmth. Vertical wood siding continues the feel of the gap board at the residence stairs. The interior of the commercial space features concrete floors and a ceiling o e osed wood. A stone tower element at the center of the front facade creates a backdrop for the store’s marquee allowing the signage to be seen without being ostentatious.

This , s uare oot uilding not only offers a commercial space but also includes a residential element that provides three new housing units in the heart of Truckee. Benches at various locations allow the community to stop, rest and gather allowing for a function eyond what is housed within the uilding. The many rooflines, forms, and exterior materials invite people to look and experience what is possible with innovative and thoughtful commercial design.

HELLER HOME REMODEL

RESIDENTIAL REMODEL

©VanceFox.com

©VanceFox.com

The original intent of this remodel was to take a 1980s Truckee home and transform it into a modern farmhouse that seamlessly

merges with the Tahoe forest surroundings. The residence is situated on a serene double lot in Truckee backed by National Forest Land. A short walk out the back door takes you through the forest to Prosser Meadow and Prosser Lake. The goal was to create a light and open design where all the spaces interact. The main floor encom asses a screened orch allowing or outside dining and social interaction in summer. The family gathering room above the garage creates another space for the entire family to interact indoors. The kitchen layout enables guests to partake in the culinary experience. Special features of the kitchen include an Urban Cultivator for growing micro greens, a large island creates a space for cooking and dining, reclaimed barnwood countertops ground the kitchen to its farmhouse roots, counterbalanced with modern glass tiles and a quartzite island top. The owners are contractors, so having the opportunity to remodel a home for themselves was not only a challenge, but also a great opportunity for them to create a showpiece to show potential clients new and fun ideas that they have always wanted to implement on their builds. As Truckee grows, and lots are few and far between, taking existing mediocre housing inventory and transforming it into a high uality e cient home will e an integral art o the industry. Connecting the dots rom a fi er to what it has ecome was truly the original objective, which the owners met with great satisfaction.

The setting of this project is a historical neighborhood in the town of Kings Beach set on a gentle slope within the Lake Tahoe Basin.

The renovation and expansion of Kings Beach Elementary School required strategic improvements to security and oversight for the campus. Based on Tahoe Truckee nified School istrict and school-site committee feedback, it was decided to relocate the main entry and administrative o ces to allow or im ro ed campus safety monitoring and etter edestrian flow, to a clearly defined school entry. Additionally, a new wing housing four kindergarten classrooms and four additional classrooms replaced several portable classrooms previously in use. The e ansion affords music and project-based learning (science lab) to have newly designated rooms of appropriate size within the permanent facility. Several outdoor learning areas allow learning to flow outside the classroom.

Exterior materials and building form were carefully designed to complement the neighborhood in scale, form, and texture. Exterior landscaping and hardscaping were envisioned to offer children an outdoor Tahoe experience with large boulders used as exterior classroom amphitheater seating. ura le concrete lock construction supports the district’s need for durable and easily maintainable exterior materials while brick veneer was added to add color and texture and blend with the existing Boys & Girls Club building next door. New single ly roofing complemented the new wing with a flat roo to hold the snow during large winter snow events. This helped to minimize the large snow-storage requirements on the site, allowing more room for student-centered site elements like a new kinder play yard and new primary play structure. rought tolerant landsca ing complemented an exterior design scheme that brought Tahoe-area elements into the play yard with large boulders and native plant species.

The programming and planning of the Kings Beach Elementary School project was a culmination of extensive community and school site engagement that aimed to transparently conceive and plan a unique school transformation that would enefit the community and children of Kings Beach.
