For this modestly-scaled renovation of a classic suburban Mill Valley house located just north of San Francisco, the architecture serves as a bridge from past to present; from one landscape condition to another; and from what a family wanted to what they could have. The house’s 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 on an ordinary budget.
