Project:
El Dorado Beach, South lake Tahoe, ca
The El Dorado Beach project is the first phase of a new civic and rec-
reational center for the City of South Lake Tahoe. Prominently located
on Lake Tahoe, the intent of the project is to reconnect the city to the
lakefront. As the prime consultant, RHAA led a multidisciplinary and
multiagency team to engage the community in a collaborative, one-year-
long process to design a special place that weaves together an array of
design objectives and reinterprets local design vernacular to create a
recreational and community gathering space. The resulting design con-
sists of stone terraces, a plaza, beach access, and a multiuse boathouse.
The project is certified LEED Gold and received the 2013 ASLA Award of
Excellence.
