Located on Pomo Street near South Lake Tahoe’s tourist corridor, the project addresses the region’s housing shortage by accommodating two rotating seasonal worker communities across seasons. Solid at its base and becoming lighter as it rises, the structure mirrors the forest’s vertical gradient, organizing communal space around a shared hearth and a tall solar chimney that gathers and distributes heat and resources. Constructed from minimally processed timber—split into halves and quarters—that layers composite systems that cradle insulation and thermal mass, the home becomes a seasonal shelter grown from the forest’s excess.
