Corte Madera Traditional

This hilltop property with views of Southern Marin and Mount Tamalpais presented a challenge: how to modernize the property and create new living space without lifting the house and interfering with neighbors’ views.

Inside the original home, we updated the kitchen and living room areas, preserving the character of the dwelling, while adding modern amenities.

The second stage of our design plan was to make room for an office and playroom. We excavated under the existing structure, carrying away the dirt and debris with conveyor belts as excavation continued. See our project Video
