Sustainable Lakefront Home

Sustainable Lakefront Home
The living roofs provide habitat and have a greater insulation value and noise reduction properties, while protecting the lake by infiltrating rain and snow melt
This beautiful modern home with a Tahoe twist is very low maintenance, sustainable, and easy living. MWA, and principal architect Kristi Thompson, balanced comfort and luxury with high performance and efficiency. Eliminating the use of high-maintenance wood on the exterior of the home led to the creative use of metal for siding, exposed structure, and roof fascia, while utilizing color tones and roof lines typical of Tahoe. Sustainable features include a roof solar PV array, multi-panel solar-thermal hot water system, ground-source heat pump for hydronic floor heating, living green roofs, reclaimed wood throughout, and abundant natural ventilation and light.

We have had the pleasure of working on many successful projects through the years with MWA, Inc. It is such a successful relationship because not only are we both creative and forward thinking but we also have the ability to check our egos at the door, blend our styles of projects and project management to create the most positive outcome for the client. Our relationships and firms have flourished even in more difficult time because of our professionalism. We also share interest in the local politics which create a better knowledge of the design environment for the client.
