Mill Valley House, Garage & ADU

This custom Mill Valley residence, designed by Michael Heacock Architects, is nestled into the lush hillside oaks. The property consists of a main house, detached custom garage, and ADU along with extensive decks, garden, pool & sauna. The home achieves net-zero electricity, demonstrating that craftsmanship and sustainability are inseparable. The "Zen-like" atmosphere is cultivated through an indoor-outdoor flow where quiet, sun-drenched spaces offer a sanctuary for reflection. A Thai inspired sauna and cold plunge pool are integral to the family’s active recreational lifestyle.

Adding to the property’s soulful character are site-specific art installations by Yorgen Quent of Artstruct, including a striking abstract sculpture and a Tibetan prayer wheel. These pieces represent a decades-long collaboration between Heacock and the artist, integrating fine art into the very fabric of the structural design. This Mill Valley project stands as a testament to the firm’s commitment to "building something meaningful," combining modern performance with a timeless, artisanal spirit that honors the unique beauty of the North Bay landscape.
