About this home
Single Family · Built 1971
Nestled in the serene hills above Mill Valley, this award-winning architectural masterpiece blends history, nature, and sustainability into a home unlike any other. 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.The home's exterior showcases the original 1x6 redwood boards, their weathered patina acquired through decades of exposure, now providing a soft and textural facade that seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings. Inside, the same redwood has been remilled into sleek tongue-and-groove paneling, its resawn surface finished with a clear, flat sealer that preserves the wood's rich hue and character. Every detail of this home is a tribute to the architect's ethos of sustainability and reverence for the natural world Truly reflects the spirit of Traditional Mill Valley!
