Project Description
At home with honest materials and striking proportions.
This residence is a contemporary response to the domestic vernacular of the neighborhood. The lot is down-sloping; the existing streetscape “reads” as one-story cottages. The new house stretches out and down the long, but narrow lot. As a result, all one can really see from the street is the one car garage. Through the use of natural materials and the way the structure meets the ground, we were able to “fit” into the Mill Valley streetscape and be a quiet, new kid on the block.
