Nestled in the serene hills above Mill Valley, this award-winning architectural masterpiece blends history, nature, and sustainability.
Designed by celebrated architect Ivan Poutiatine of Agora Architects and Planners, this redwood and glass sanctuary tells a story that spans both time and place. For 50 years, the redwood that now forms the home's exterior and interior was part of an aqueduct system, carrying life-giving water from the Sierras to San Francisco. Today, that very lumber stands as a testament to the harmonious marriage of reclaimed materials and visionary design.
Every detail of this home is a tribute to the architect’s ethos of sustainability and reverence for the natural world, with Douglas fir beams adding both strength and warmth. In Poutiatine’s own words, "The use of redwood not only satisfies a preference for natural materials but preserves a page of San Francisco's history, reminding us that the water we drink flows from the mountain wilderness across the great Central Valley."
Now, more than ever, the expertise of a real estate professional with local knowledge matters in the sale or purchase of your home.
