Vivian Soliemani Design has brought a vision of contemporary comfort to life with the transformation of a Lake Tahoe property into a luxurious yet welcoming family retreat. Designed to serve as a year-round basecamp for recreation, relaxation, and entertaining, the home reflects the energy and passions of an active household while offering a refined space tailored for both private and social moments.

The design is rooted in a thoroughly modern aesthetic, carried consistently throughout the entire property to establish a cohesive and calming atmosphere. Vivian Soliemani Design ensured that each space was custom created to accommodate the family’s lifestyle, from intimate family gatherings to lively hosting. The open-concept great room serves as the heart of the home, offering an expansive yet comfortable environment for spending time together. Another standout feature is the custom-designed wine bar, which adds an elevated social element while blending seamlessly into the home’s architecture.

What sets this project apart is the careful balance it strikes between performance, personalization, and visual elegance. While clearly luxurious, the design avoids any sense of formality or sterility. Instead, Vivian Soliemani Design created a space that feels both sophisticated and livable, merging modern design language with warm, inviting elements.

The home also responds beautifully to its Lake Tahoe setting. Natural materials and a thoughtful layout connect the interior to the surrounding landscape, reflecting the outdoor lifestyle it supports. Whether returning from a day on the slopes or unwinding after time at the lake, the design encourages both rest and connection.

Through thoughtful planning and an intuitive understanding of how the family lives, Vivian Soliemani Design has crafted a home that is as functional as it is beautiful, seamlessly integrating luxury and lifestyle.
