As Descibed by SB Architects:
Nestled in the hills of Mill Valley, California, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, Hillside hillsidehouse/hillside has just received certification as the first LEED for Homes Platinum custom home in Marin County, and one of only a handful in Northern California.
Designed by Scott Lee, majority partner at SB Architects, this home is a statement of what is possible combining "high design with high sustainability." Recently completed, this project represents the collaborative effort of a visionary group of partner companies, who have come together to bring this first-of-its-kind project to Marin County. The steep hillside site provides for a very vertical design with living and private zones situated on multiple separate floors. Numerous outdoor and covered terraces and balconies capitalize on stunning views of the bay and the San Francisco skyline beyond.
