MILL VALLEY RESIDENCE

MARIN RESIDENCE

Key hallmarks of this modern residential project include:

Context-sensitive design that responds to hillside topography and Kentfields’s strict design-review standards
Emphasis on natural light, proportion, and spatial flow for everyday livability and wellness
Sustainable strategies aligned with California’s progressive building codes (energy efficiency, durable materials, and landscape harmony)
Refined modern coastal-contemporary aesthetic popular across Southern Marin (Belvedere, Tiburon, Mill Valley, Sausalito)

MILL VALLEY RESIDENCE

Nestled among the rolling hills, redwood groves, and natural beauty of Marin County, this contemporary residence exemplifies a contemporary approach: clean lines, abundant natural light, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and sustainable luxury that honors its stunning Northern California setting.

This Mill Valley project blends refined contemporary aesthetics with environmental responsibility. Large expanses of glazing flood the interiors with liquid-gold daylight while framing views of Mount Tamalpais and the surrounding landscape. Thoughtfully chosen materials that age beautifully—combined with strong indoor-outdoor connections through decks, terraces, and landscape integration—create a private sanctuary that feels both elevated and deeply connected to place.

BELVEDERE LAGOON RESIDENCE FEMA

Commissioned by a fun, athletic, and design-savvy French client, the home captures the best of both worlds: the elegance and proportion of classical French residences and the indoor-outdoor California lifestyle unique to Belvedere Lagoon. From the meticulously detailed interiors to the private dock and outdoor entertaining spaces, every element was designed for beauty, functionality, and joy.

Located in one of the Bay Area’s most exclusive waterfront enclaves, residents enjoy proximity to Tiburon’s shops and restaurants, ferry service to San Francisco, yacht clubs, and the natural beauty of Marin County — all from a private lagoon setting.

Orla Studios specializes in high-end coastal residences, FEMA-compliant new builds, and thoughtfully crafted homes that honor client vision while elevating everyday living. This classical French-inspired Belvedere Lagoon residence exemplifies our approach: tradition refined by modern luxury, sustainability, and exquisite detailing.

Experience the epitome of elegant lagoon living — where French sophistication meets California waterfront paradise.
