It's one thing to live among Old Mammoth's trees, but quite another to live in one. That is the idea behind one of the town's more innovative homes, designed and built by longtime Mammoth architect Elliott Brainard.View image View image View image View image

This isn’t just any cabin, not in any traditional sense anyway. It is cozy, no doubt about that. It does not tower over the tree canopy, and its color palette is that of the landscape. But from that point on, Malibu architect Edward Niles, 71, and his architect daughter, Lisa, left the grid.View image View image View image View image

John Dittli and Leslie Goethals made a home out of one of the most environmentally conscious structures in the Eastern Sierra -- so meticulous to detail and "green" sensitivity that it's practically a laboratory for green building.View image View image

In Larry Walker's office there is a Sierra Summer Festival poster from 1997. It's lovely, really -- comfortable and balanced, both in color and composition. It doesn't scream. It's as if the artist wanted it to settle in a viewer's mind and get comfortable in there. It is no surprise that the artist of that poster was Walker himself, a longtime Mammoth resident whose work now is expressed in architectural design.View image View image View image View image

The first time we encountered the interior designer Corrine Brown was the day we were standing in an older A-frame home near Canyon Lodge. Her task was daunting: take a standard, old-style Mammoth dinosaur structure and bring it into the modern age. She pulled it off in the Bewsher home without a hitch, and she's still doing it, trying to find that delicate balance between old and new, the rustic and modern, and keeping it appropriate to Mammoth.View image

If Robin Stater has a mantra in designing interiors, it's as simple as it is time-honored. "It sounds kind of simple, but form follows function," she said recently in a conversation in her office at the Sierra Design Studio.View image View image View image View image

When Adrianne Phillips' house pulled up to her Mammoth driveway on wheels two years ago, she had no idea she would be one more number in an exploding modular housing phenomenon.May 15, 2006

The old standby Mammoth A-frame does not have much of a reputation, as Mark and Mary Anne Bewsher discovered as soon as they bought one. "The contractors told us when we started, ‘Why put so much money into something when you could tear it down and build a much more expensive home?'" Mark Bewsher said.May 05, 2006

By collecting scrap wood from shipping pallets, iron and steel from the Mountain's scrap heap, plus whatever else he could scavenge around town, Henry Means built a truly unique, only-in-Mammoth home for his family. "This," he said of the house, "is the history of Mammoth Mountain."January 18, 2006

The pieces that will determine much of the future look of Mammoth's housing arrived on flatbed trucks. The trucks were headed for Old Mammoth Road near the Snowcreek Athletic Club, where a concrete slab was ready to receive the first of four 8-unit buildings. On the trucks were pieces of the building, infrastructure already contained.January 12, 2006

There are a lot of wonderful things about Mammoth, but its buildings generally aren’t at the top of the list. For students of modern architecture, though, our town—at least nearly 1,100 square feet of it—is quite noteworthy, thanks to two tiny cabins designed in the late 1960s by the office of famed architect Richard Neutra.by George Shirk

But the Bewshers, who split their time between Mammoth and the Bay Area, had a different idea altogether, and the happy result is one of the more interesting examples of modern home design in town.
