This helped transfer the large roof loads into and through the main level walls down to the foundation. By having the upper floor stack on the lower level walls, they were able to create the two en-suite bedrooms, rather than be limited to a single one. To deal with potential flooding, a flood-proof foundation was created. This feature allows water to flow through the foundation as well as withstand the pressures associated with floodwater. Once it was decided how to overcome the structural challenges of the second floor, and the flood plain was addressed, Mather focused on the interior aesthetics. While the exposed interior timber rafters throughout the ceilings enhance the old-cottage feel, they are decorative only. The team used a traditional structural system that is buried in the ceiling cavities and hidden behind the drywall. The exposed reclaimed timber, which is therefore non-structural, is more appropriately sized (smaller) and spaced farther apart giving
the home a better sense of scale, despite the huge snow loads that impact the actual structural system. Not only was this method more aesthetic, it proved costeffective, creating a savings of more than $40,000. While the exterior of the cottage looks and feels like an old log home, it is not. In reality it’s a traditionally-framed home clad in gorgeous reclaimed timber and chinked to give it a certain texture and veneer, further giving it the appearance of a historic cottage. Mather created space, or the appearance of space, in the 1,850-square-foot home with a soaring living room adorned with antique lights, a mantle, and an exposed, overlooking reading loft. “I try to be very efficient in all my designs,” Mather said. “This design was definitely compact. We included numerous features in the home to make it feel spacious, however.” He points to the open staircase as one of the standout spacecreating elements. It basks in natural light through high windows as it leads to the two bedrooms upstairs. A Romeo and Juliet balcony in the master suite overlooks the grounds and Lake Tahoe, while the open closet area hides personal belongings in a galley of full-height cabinets. A diminutive media den is even cozier with a window seat, while the kitchen has its own fireplace and an integrated reading space. The owners also included their own personal touches into the layout and design. Having handled the interior design on two previous homes, they had procured many of their own antiques and furnishings. Mather integrated a repurposed bar-island they had supplied, as well as the corbels and lighting around the fireplace. “It has great character,” Mather said. “It’s wrapped in recycled Utah barn wood and feels as if it could have been built a century ago. But now it’s built to stand the test of time.” For more information about Mather and his work projects around Lake Tahoe, go to TGMArchitect.com.
