Tonopalo, a high-end private residence club perched on the north rim of Lake Tahoe’s brisk waters, is one of Tahoe Vista’s finest architectural marvels. Where once existed old, cabin-style hotels has spawned a residence of distinctive beauty that combines nature and refined style.

This steep-slope roofing tile worked well even on Tonopalo’s conservative 4:12 roof. With height restriction as a concern, EcoStar’s versatile roofing tiles were applied to the roof, contributing to the building’s camouflage characteristics. Cleverly blending with Tonopalo’s surroundings, the roof is comprised of 80% Federal Gray and 20% Stone Red slate tiles. The square shape of the tile is a classic finishing touch to Tonopalo’s distinctive architecture.
