Arboreal House is a project designed by MacCracken Robinson Architects. “Our introduction to the Tahoe site was in late winter on a clear sunny day with filtered light and long shadows through snow laden fir and pine bows. It made a strong impression, stored for future consideration but the impetus for design came soon after the spring snow melt. A powerful sense of horizontal layering of vegetation and various stages of decomposing downed timber on the two acre site, juxtaposed with pine and fir trees and dense canopy of the surrounding forest. The site is located near the historic 1960 Olympic Nordic track and situated on the edge of a wetlands and seasonal stream.” Photography by Adam Potts, MacCracken Robinson Architects.
