You deserve a space that feels like an exhale.
At MASTRIDICASA, we’d love to help you design it—and handle the permit documents while we’re at it.
We believe that intentional, bespoke design shouldn’t be a gatekept luxury. Our mission is to make beautiful, functional spaces accessible to everyone, regardless of the budget. We’re here to give you the confidence that your "dream home" is actually a very real possibility.
Our Philosophy: We design intuitive, personalized spaces that don’t just sit on the land—they "speak with" the natural environment around them. It’s about creating a sense of quiet harmony and tranquility that fits your lifestyle perfectly.
Whether you’re dreaming of a 600-square-foot mountain hideaway or a 49,999-square-foot legacy compound, we specialize in homes that are built specifically for your lifestyle, your aesthetic, and your land.
The Collaboration: Bring us your wildest ideas, your "must-have" lists, and your late-night Pinterest finds. Together, we’ll iterate and drill down into every volume, texture, and view corridor. The goal? An expression of structure that perfectly reflects who you are and how you move through the world. We don't just hand over blueprints; we craft the stage for your life’s best moments.

BUILDING PERMIT PLANS: Agency-Ready Permit Sets & 3D Synthesis
A great design is only as strong as the documents that guide it. We produce some of the most comprehensive building permit plan sets in the Tahoe-Truckee region. Whether it’s an ADU, a mountain modern remodel, or a legacy estate, we provide the technical precision required to move your project from the screen to the soil.
The Collaborative Powerhouse. We don't work in a vacuum. We seamlessly collaborate with the region’s top experts:
-
Civil, Structural, & Geotechnical Engineers
-
Mechanical Engineers & Energy Consultants
-
Planners & Landscape Architects
Agency-Ready Precision. We design our plans to be "bulletproof" for agency review, meticulously addressing:
-
Local & State Codes: Current Building, Green Building, and Energy Codes.
-
Mountain Specifics: Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) compliance and Defensible Space plans.
-
Comprehensive Details: Site plans, floor plans, and integrated MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) layouts.
Your builder will love our plans. By providing more detail upfront, we help you get through the application process quicker, receive your permit faster, and—most importantly—start construction sooner. A better set of plans means fewer questions on-site and a project that stays on schedule.

PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY + PLANNING: Zoning, Agency Entitlements & Site Capabilities
Jurisdiction Guidelines
Construction Budget
Zoning Regulations
Site Analysis
Cut the red tape before the red wires.
Before we dive in and start designing, we need to make sure your vision has a solid place to land. The Feasibility Study is the most critical step in the entire process—it’s where we determine exactly what’s achievable before you break ground or pick up a sledgehammer.
While it’s tempting to skip straight to the fun stuff, first we'll determine the project allowances and constraints we're designing within:
-
The Rules: Jurisdiction guidelines and zoning regulations.
-
The Land: Topography, site analysis, and environmental constraints.
-
The Reality: Budget alignment and project viability.
With 45+ years navigating these systems, we know how to effectively move through them. Trust us to find the path forward so your project starts on a foundation of facts, not guesswork.

Finishes + Textures

Site Development + Landscape Context
A sophisticated tool that allows you to test materials, lighting, and view corridors in high definition. We eliminate the guesswork to ensure that the finished product is the idea you fell in love with on day one.
What we bring to life:
-
Hyper-Real Details: We render accurate materials, textures, and lighting so you can see exactly how that morning sun will hit your favorite wake-up space.
-
The Big Picture: Explore the site context, view corridors, and landscaping to find the optimal integration within the environment.
-
Decision Power: Test out different finishes and layouts with the decision-making ability to swap textures or circulation patterns on a screen—saving time and capital on the job site.
