Project Overview

Portola Residence

Designed as both a private family sanctuary and a luxury vacation destination, this expansive residence reinterprets the traditional Tahoe lodge through a distinctively modern lens. While the home boasts a voluminous, contemporary architectural feel with clean lines and open concepts, the design is carefully calibrated to harmonize with its surroundings.

Navigating strict neighborhood guidelines, we utilized a material palette and structural scale that respects the existing local vernacular. The result is a seamless blend of bold, modern living spaces that settle quietly into the Tahoe landscape—offering an unforgettable experience for guests and a comforting return for the owners.

Without a doubt, Affordable Drafting provided us with top notch service and I highly recommend them. Tony made the whole process very easy for remodel first-timers. He was accommodating to all our requests and ideas, efficient and supportive throughout the drafting, engineering and permitting phases of our project… our permits were approved very quickly (fastest our contractor has ever seen in 15 years, he said).
