Donner Lake Dock Reconstruction

We completed two dock reconstructions on Donner Lake this season. With our steel certification, we can construct a dock that will withstand the elements for a hundred years.

 


Stal Tre Hus
A Celebrated Fusion of Art & Nature

stal tre hus  

Beginning as a dream of both builder and architect, "The Steel Tree House" has become one of the most celebrated new homes in Tahoe.  Recognized by the American Institute of Architects, this truly original work of art not only complements nature but was inspired by it.  Fueled by passion, tradition and integrity, Norwegian Wood and JLS Design have shown an uncompromising dedication to world-class construction and architecture.

Hillside

hillside home  

 

The Hillside home is approximately 2260 square feet and sits on a half acre lot in Serene Lakes on Donner Summit.  The construction is unique in that it is trim less wherever possible and uses steel frame construction.  The numerous windows offer lots of light and spectacular views of the surrounding forest.  The home is environmentally friendly in that it is over insulated and hold and uses the snow for added insulation and energy efficiency.  Clean lines and fine attention to detailing make this home a mountain classic.

Rifugio

rifugio  

 

Rifugio is located in Serene Lakes on a quarter acre lot.  The 1700 square foot cabin was designed by Oakland Architect Phred Starkweather and built by Jon Traeger and his crew at Norwegian Wood Construction.  The cabin connects with the outdoors through the simplicity of its design and offers a true mountain retreat from from the extravagant pace of city life.  The house is modern in design, but simple in form.  The roofs and decks are extremely durable and built to withstand the harsh winters on the summit.  This modern cabin features steel framing adding to its durability.  Building with steel is a concept that Jon frequently uses in his houses due to his love and passion for welding.  In fact Rifugio was crafted in the footsteps of Stal Tre Hus and it uses the same building concepts of holding and using the snow and integration within the environment instead of against it
