We embarked on a full-scale renovation that took this charming Mill Valley cottage down to the studs, then brought it back to life with an additional 1,200 sq ft ADU. Infused with classic proportions and English countryside charm—channeling the Cotswolds—the design blends modern living with the home’s original soul. Living finishes like unlacquered brass and warm copper highlight timeless details like crown molding and ogee-edge calacatta borghini countertops. What’s left standing is a layered, character-rich, and effortlessly welcoming retreat.
