Mother of Titans | Gaia Residence

Gaia Residence blends contemporary architecture with earthy tones and raw materials such as wood, marble, and handcrafted terrazzo. Completely redesigned to foster a deep connection with nature, the house draws inspiration from the Greek goddess Gaia. It features five distinct bedrooms and expansive social areas distributed across three levels that follow the site’s natural topography. The central level houses a secluded yet inviting swimming pool that visually connects the upper and lower floors. Surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and offering panoramic views of the Ionian Sea and Pindos mountain range, the residence redefines luxury through simplicity and harmony with the landscape.

  • Burnt Cedar

    This is a full-time beach house for a car passionate family of four situated across from Burnt Cedar Beach in Incline Village, Nevada on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Prior to being pulled up the hill to flumes and rails destined for Virginia City, logs were staged here as the mountains around the lake shore were logged during the silver mining years of the 1860s. Set into a neighborhood originally built in the 1950s and bordered by houses to the sides and rear, the house takes a simple box form, half buried into the slope. It faces the lake with full height glazing that encloses a loft-like plan with double height living spaces. The clients requested a space that felt like the landscape and maintained a feeling inside of being outside in the light and shadow play of the sixty to ninety-foot Jeffrey and Ponderosa pines that populate the lake shore.  Perforated wood ceilings and acoustical plaster walls soften the sounds of the concrete and glass pavilion-like house. An underground garage is excavated under the house with level access to the street, a must in this snowy climate for a family with an eclectic car collection.
