Miller (Tamandari)

Year 2018 | Mill Valley, CA

The Tamandari project is a mixed-use development located at the Mill Valley major thoroughfare. It consists of condominiums, commercial spaces, and on-site parking. The site layout accommodates two different structures articulated by a central small plaza.Building A ( the larger building) houses the covered parking and in the upper 2 levels, all the residential units. Building B is a 2-story high building where small retail is located on the ground floor ( directly connected to the street level and side plaza) and offices at the upper level. The complex’s architecture celebrates the adjacent wooded environment by incorporating green walls all along the street front while masking the parking garage behind the vertical trellises as well as a commitment to sustainability. Similar design strategies are applied to the upper levels where horizontal trellises are semi-covering the ample balconies and terraces.
