Located in Marin County, Mill Valley House house was designed San Francisco-based Yamamar Design.
From the architect: Two opposing roofs define public and private zones in this Marin County home for a filmmaker and painter couple and their 2 small children. We were inspired by architect Glenn Murcutt’s notion that a well designed home requires both ‘prospect’ and ‘refuge’. The house is sited in densely wooded area, drinks in Southern light and the cleansed air of the Pacific just over the coastal ridge.
High fly ash concrete, FSC certified and untreated knotty western red cedar siding, reclaimed Walnut floors, thermally broken aluminum windows, photovoltaic solar, locally sourced ceramic and glass tiles, standing seam metal roof, natural ventilation, optimized daylight.
