Modern in Mill Valley
49 Lomita Dr.
Mill Valley
Sold: $8,000,000
Contemporary architectural award winning home in the heart of Mill Valley, this is a home that creates an internal sanctuary for all that live there. The courtyard form emerges to facilitate the ability to immerse oneself in nature while simultaneously providing separate but connected living space for guests. An industrial language of steel and corrugated siding reconnects the home to the land's historic agricultural roots.
This 4+ bedroom home by Aidlin Darling Design and built by Van Acker, is a true work of art.

Seamlessly fusing architecture with art and the surrounding landscape, the home ultimately focuses on design for all the senses.
The main living space—houses the vaulted living room, dining room and kitchen—to be transparent to the outside. A sliding glass wall opens to a gracious deck, patio, gardens and the solar-powered reflecting pool in the distance. Passively cooled rooms, including a writer’s studio, gym and art court, all radiate from this central area. The garage also does double duty as the bike shop, featuring an impressive hanging rack that holds 8–10 bicycles, and plenty of space for fine-tuning and repairs.
The home flows perfectly and is perfect for grand-scale entertaining and intimate gatherings alike.
It seamlessly integrates simple raw materials including corrugated zinc walls, poured concrete, and magazine-worthy, designer finishes. The cool concrete floors, zinc walls are warmed with a large modern fireplace and windows perfectly placed to allow for the warm sun to envelop the room.
The residence is located a short walk from the award-winning Edna Maguire K-5th grade school and is located across the street from ‘horse hill’ which provides a backdrop of beautiful open space, roaming horses and hiking.
