A RCHITECTURE VII.1 G ENERAL O VERVIEW The first aesthetic objective of every home at Lahontan should be to allow the natural setting to remain the dominant image. 70 Buildings within this setting must fit quietly into the existing landscape. The goal is to create appealing and interesting structures that are subtle, well grounded, and complementary to the dominant beauty of the mountain setting. The second aesthetic objective should be to design all structures so that they relate to human scale. Keeping in mind that outdoor recreation is one of the tenets of this community; homes must be designed to appeal and not to overwhelm individuals on foot. While there is no one Lahontan style, there is a unifying philosophy of design. The thematic character seeks to combine two ingredients: the richness of the historic Lake Tahoe estates and summer lodges with an innovative but understated freshness. Homes should reflect regional traditions and respond to the unique character of the mountain climate. Rather than prescribing a specific formula, the guidelines and requirements are intended to foster a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to creating an uncommonly well-designed community. In order to foster the highest quality designs, the Lahontan Covenants Commission may [but is not required to] wave numeric requirements in the interest of meeting the intent and spirit of this book. The following text has been developed to inspire a spirit of sensitivity and subservience to the existing landscape, a simple honesty in expression and an enduring timeless appeal evident in the substantial and permanent quality of the architecture. VII.2 C HARACTER The classic Old Tahoe structures that in part inspire the thematic character of Lahontan, utilized strong sheltering roof forms with deep overhangs, large covered porches, gable and shed dormers, divided-light windows, substantial exposed beam and rafter tails and native materials. Quite often, material availability and ability to process materials in remote mountain locations were limited. The building season was short; builders chose simple volumes to complete in a single season. Additive elements often appeared in subsequent seasons, resulting in a rich patina of forms. Quality, functionality, comfort and ability to withstand the harsh climatic conditions prevailed over superfluous ornamentation and the size and quantity of interior spaces. The genuine rustic quality of these buildings and the rugged natural environment has appealed to generations of families seeking refuge and comfort from the complications and refinement of urban life. While structures at Lahontan should be well developed, expression is to be honest and uncomplicated. All materials and effects at Lahontan are to be genuine. Development of spaces for the enjoyment of outdoor living is encouraged. Porches, overhangs, 72 trellises, and the softness of shade and shadow as a result of articulated massing and details are all desirable features that help connect the home to the natural landscape. The play of light and shadow should be used to enrich the built environment. Design elements too massive or without well-designed proportions and appropriate functional detailing will not be approved. Care must be taken when adapting the architectural styles discussed in Chapter II. THE LAHONTAN VISION. While these styles are intended to inspire an expression of implied outdoor lifestyles, it is important not to interpret them literally. Further study of this chapter will show that many additional factors will shape the homes at Lahontan, resulting in a subtly unique and architecturally rich body of homes. VII.3 D IVERSITY AND C ONTINUITY The principal objective of the Improvement Requirements is to add elements of architectural richness and variety to individual dwellings without allowing exceedingly flashy, ostentatious or attention-grabbing designs. The world's most admired neighborhoods enjoy the unique character created by a patina of time that has been lacking within the dynamic growth patterns of the west. Where houses have been built individually or changed over the years by their respective owners, the resulting diversity moves beyond that normally achieved with standard plans and elevations. To recreate this richness, the Lahontan Covenants Commission anticipates a complex harmony in the design and construction of houses to be built within each area of the Lahontan community. In order to build a community with a distinct and legible identity, architectural continuity with other homes in Lahontan must be considered by the Architect and will be examined by the Lahontan Covenants Commission when reviewing applications. Homes that have well-developed outdoor spaces and use neutral [existing landscape originated] colors for all materials will be considered as the basis from which to provide continuity. Design continuity can be achieved through form, height, massing, materials, colors and other design patterns. Architects and Landscape Professionals must also strive to create appealing and interesting designs that are continuous with the existing fabric of natural landscape. The goal is to create subtle homes that complement their surroundings, allowing the mountain setting to remain the dominant image. The desire is for as much subtle expression as imagination, topography, and continuity will allow. In addition to the general approval of plans and elevations, the Lahontan Covenants Commission may require special features and massing on selected parcels along specific roadways. When such requirements are imposed, the objective is to either define the neighborhood by adding subtle variety and visual interest and/or complement the existing pattern of development. 73 |
