Single Family Residential
Mill Valley Residence
The Mill Valley Residence is a 2-story 2,104 sq. ft. home designed with sustainability at its core. Utilizing Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs) for the walls, roof, and floors, the design enhances thermal performance, minimizes material waste, and streamlines construction. In collaboration with Studio Maven and Clarum Homes, our team optimized the SIP system to balance architectural vision with energy efficiency. Fire-resistant materials, a hydraulic elevator for accessibility, and rooftop solar panels further support the home’s long-term sustainability. Through innovative engineering and airtight construction, this project reflects our commitment to environmentally conscious residential design.

Engineered for Sustainability, Built for the Future.
Located in Mill Valley, the Mill Valley Residence, a 2-story 2,104 sq. ft. home in Marin is designed with sustainability at its core. Featuring Structurally Insulated Panel (SIP) construction for the walls, roof, and floors, this highly efficient building method enhances thermal performance, reduces material waste, and accelerates construction.
Collaborating with Studio Maven and contractor Clarum Homes, our team optimized the SIP system to maintain architectural integrity while improving energy efficiency. Sustainable features include fire-resistant materials for durability, a hydraulic elevator for aging-in-place accessibility, and rooftop solar panels to maximize renewable energy use. Additionally, thoughtful engineering solutions ensured airtight construction, reducing heating and cooling demands for long-term energy savings.
This project demonstrates the power of prefabrication and structural innovation, reinforcing our commitment to environmentally conscious residential design.
