Mill Valley Courtyard Residence
This home creates a garden-like sanctuary in a dense suburban context. The design uses a courtyard form to immerse occupants in nature, while providing separate but connected living space for guests. Steel and corrugated siding pair with warm wood accents, forming a neutral backdrop for the client’s art collection and creating a unified experience of art and nature.
