MILL VALLEY
Imagine a secluded cabin nestled deep within an ancient forest, a serene escape where time seems to slow. The cabin, crafted from wood, steel, polished concrete, hints a warm modern charm. Its quarter sawn cedar ceiling blending harmoniously with the surrounding trees and merging with its surroundings. The smooth plaster walls harken tales of bleached Mediterranean cottages and warm hearths. The roof is crowned with fire-resistant tiles, copper sheet metal, and pine needles to greet the elements. Large skylights peer up into the sky, and the multi-panel sliding doors welcome the forest as a retreat from the world. The cabin is a reminder of the beauty and simplicity that still exists, hidden away in places untouched by the relentless march of time.
