Entry Description

For this renovation of a Mill Valley house located just north of San Francisco, the clients requested an open floor plan for the kitchen/dining/and living areas, as well as an indoor/outdoor connection for their children to enjoy. The house’s organization around a central courtyard, the open floor plan for the kitchen/dining/living areas, carefully-framed views of the lush trees outside, and indoor/outdoor connections serve to create a comprehensive, thoughtful, and sensitive approach to creating extraordinary daily life.
