Mill Valley Residence, YamaMar Design

The Mill Valley Residence is both home and workplace to a filmmaker and artist and their two small children. The couple wanted a home that combined casual, functional, and organic sensibilities within a modern expression. The owners were highly involved in the design process, sourcing many of the interior finishes and systems. Opposing shed roofs define public and private zones in the house, playing on the Glenn Murcutt notion of a good house having both 'prospect and refuge.' Out buildings include a stand-alone office and separate painting studio. Image by Bruce Damonte.
