Existing ranch-style home, located in Mill Valley in the Mt. Tamalpais area, is transformed into a light-filled open house, making the landscape legible from within

The location on Mount Tamalpais offers direct connections to the wilderness and 270-degree views. Wood-paneled areas and large windows are added to the home, and the neutral white interior becomes a backdrop for the clients' art collection
