This beautiful countryside home has been completely transformed by G.P. Schafer Architect, located in Mill Valley, a city in Marin County, California. A couple with two young children relocated from New York City to the San Francisco Bay Area, after purchasing this 3,800 square foot home. The architects helped the family to realize their vision of renovating and expanding their countryside dream home.
The client’s sought to retain the original 1870’s cabin elements they had fallen in love with at the core of the house. The project team completely rebuilt the structure, maintaining the cabin feel while creating a new family room and bedrooms on the lower level and a new central staircase, all designed to fit within the original fabric of the existing house.

What We Love: This lovely countryside home offers a bright and airy new interior layout with plenty of charm. Decorated with a layering of textures and accessories, the interiors are brimming with warmth and personality. This home is very livable, with spaces that are ideal for family living and entertaining… Readers, what are your overall thoughts on the design of this home? Would this be your idea of a dream home?
