movement's philosophy of “honest craftsmanship, natural materials, simple and pure design to promote a harmonious family life” is reflected in every aspect of The Powder Haus’ construction.

 The Powder Haus’ design reflects informal and regionally relevant stylings that are extolled by the natural landscape, lifestyle, and climate of Lake Tahoe, California. Informal in feeling, this residence exhibits the handmade detailing and respect for the various materials’ characteristics.

 Squaw Valley is an area rich in contrasts and has a unique history and heritage. The Powder Haus draws inspiration from both old and new homes built in this beautiful alpine environment and the final product is a refined balance of design and performance.
