Parks & Rec, Mill Valley

Surrounded by Redwoods on a steep, hillside lot in Mill Valley, our design for this home was inspired by Parks & Recreation buildings of the 1930s. The palette of materials features wide-plank Redwood siding stained charcoal black, copper gutters and downspouts, and a massive, scalloped Cedar post and beam at the front entry. Sliding pocket doors flank the Great Room, allowing views from the stone terrace through the house and over the roof deck to the forest beyond.
