Located in Marin County, California, the Mill Valley Hillside residence was designed by McGlashan Architecture. This family residence was especially built in order to accommodate three generations, in two separate dwellings, under one green roof. Upstairs is formal, quiet and dramatic. Downstairs is warm and casual, from cozy window seats to a generous play areas for the boys. In order for the 2nd unit to expand beyond the allowed 500sf and share space with the upper unit, the architect conceived an attached 3-level structure. Each level is topped with a semi-intensive green roof, planted with native and drought tolerant species. Super-insulated, passively conditioned, with many energy- and water-efficiency features, the home is an ecological exemplar.” [Photography by: David Fenton, Scott McGlashan, CJ Chapman]. [via]
