Donner Residence

Set among tall pines, the Donner Residence opens toward the lake through broad glazing and generous timber decks. Exposed beams, a stone fireplace and dark cabinetry give the main living spaces a warm, grounded character, while quiet bedrooms and spaces for recreation make room for gathering and retreat.
