When he was growing up in Texas, Joe Gantt says his family never flew anywhere for vacation. Instead, they took to the open road. Gantt, now a professor of rhetoric and media studies at Lewis & Clark College in Southwest Portland, would bury himself in books of logic puzzles to stay entertained.

Having built homes in Squaw Valley (home to the 1960 Winter Olympics) and many others throughout the Lake Tahoe region, San Francisco–based Faulkner Architects is no stranger to designing for snowy climates. Their latest project, a 4,500-square-foot vacation home in Truckee’s Martis Valley, also illustrates the firm’s careful attention to climate and site. With a client that wanted a secluded and tranquil home in the forest, Faulkner Architects carefully embedded the structure within the landscape that features over 100 trees including old-growth Jeffrey, Sugar pine, and White and Red fir.
