Clad in SPF lumber, zinc, and glass, David Bronskill and Mark Dilworth’s vacation home on Oblong Lake fans out to capture wide views of the forest. “Nothing is straight in the plan,” says architect Roland Rom Colthoff of RAW Design, who conceived the 2,500-square-foot escape. From left to right, there are three structures: a three-bedroom guest wing, a voluminous communal area, and a semi-detached master suite. Two of the wings share an unusual fin-shape design because of their varied ceiling heights.

Heating and cooling are essential for Yosemite's snowy winters and broiling summers. Glass walls along all sides of the clubhouse fold away to let air in—or slide shut to insulate the space from the temperature outside.

Now, a picture window frames the views into the garden, and a tall glass and steel door accesses the backyard.

We wanted the look of concrete countertops, but did not want the seam in the long island. We selected a water-proof plaster material and had our contractor create these custom countertops.

Every major living space enjoys a panoramic view through south-facing glass to a gently sloping field of rockery and wildflowers planted by the homeowner.
