Working with Altitude on our Tahoe home remodel was exceptional from start to finish. Since we weren’t around for most of the construction, the team truly became our eyes and ears on the job site — which gave us enormous peace of mind. They guided us through every decision, helping us thoughtfully curate and select finishes, furnishings, and details that brought the entire vision together beautifully.
Beyond their design talent, they were incredibly responsive, highly professional, and proactive throughout the process. Communication was seamless, and we always felt informed and supported. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome or the experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Altitude to anyone looking for a trusted, top-tier design partner.

Working with Colette Fonseca and Altitude Design on our Tahoe Pines home was a fantastic experience. The team collaborated seamlessly with our architect, Todd Mather, and was always responsive, thoughtful, and attentive to our style and budget. Colette handled our cabinetry layouts and material selections, and also helped with furniture design and ordering, right down to linens and blankets for the beds. She even picked out a fabulous green zellige tile for our kitchen that we constantly get compliments on, it perfectly echoes the forest green trees outside. Her guidance on colors and textures took the design to a level we wouldn’t have reached on our own. We love the final result and highly recommend her and her team.

Colette and her team didn’t just renovate our house, they created a home intended to be passed down through our family for generations. We started with what was arguably the ugliest house in Truckee (a rundown castle with a turret) and, thanks to their vision, it is now one of the most stunning properties in Truckee.
Throughout the process, Colette treated the project as if she were designing her own home. Her attention to detail is incredible. She guided my wife and me through a mountain of decisions, from the overall flow of the kitchen, to the layout of the bedrooms, down to the specific cabinet hardware for the bathrooms. She even designed a bunk room our kids absolutely love.
For the immense amount of work and personal care she poured into this, her pricing was incredibly reasonable. If you want a designer who is as invested in your home as you are, look no further than Colette and her team.
