Laney LA’s Tahoe Retreat: Where Mountain Living Meets Infratech Comfort

High above the road at Northstar, carved into a steep Tahoe hillside, a contemporary mountain home quietly emerges from the landscape. Designed through a close collaboration between Holly Hollenbeck of HSH Interiors and Anthony Laney of Laney LA, the home was built for a family of East Bay attorneys seeking a ski retreat that would eventually become their primary residence. Function, longevity, and comfort were paramount — but never at the expense of beauty.

Bridge House literally bridges the stream, stretching 210 feet across the grounds in an architectural move that gives the home its name and its character. Developed in partnership with Dwell, the residence is a demonstration of forward-thinking design where nature isn't an obstacle, but the organizing principle.
