Set along the banks of the Truckee River, and backed by a private island with towering pine trees, the setting for this home can only be described as picturesque.
Prioritizing the lifestyle of its owners, Realm endeavored to design-build this project over a 4-year period.

COMMERCIAL PROJECTS

This was a true collaboration, that shows with good design and communication complex projects can be made simple.

525 Roberts St.
This mixed-use project includes two live-work residential lofts, and a commercial space that houses an architecture studio with a custom fabrication workspace.
