We were contacted shortly after a young couple bought their home in the Sycamore Park neighborhood of Mill Valley only to discover it was not weather tight and had a bad mold problem. To make matters worse, it was also located in a flood plain.
UBW designed a brand new home to completely replace the existing structure and served as their architect navigating Mill Valley’s design review process. This included negotiating approvals with city staff, the planning commission and several concerned neighbors. Our deep local knowledge of the process allowed us to secure approvals in just six months.
The home’s contemporary Mediterranean style pays homage to Santa Barbara and southern California architecture, which our clients love. It also responds to the local climate and neighborhood of Mill Valley’s popular Sycamore Park neighborhood.
The open kitchen and living room feature a large cascading slider to the back yard, giving space to family meals, flawless entertaining and memories for years to come.
