Casa Mariposa — San Anselmo, CA

This Bay Area gem is tucked away among the trees and removed from the nearby main streets of the city of San Anselmo. The two-story house was built in 1917, as part of a larger estate, for the owner's daughter. It was originally designed by an anonymous architect, who incorporated Tudor detailing within the Craftsman style. In 1989, we were commissioned by the current owner to extensively remodel the existing house and to add a new wing.

The focal point of the new wing became a traditional and elegant library. We designed the two-story space with redwood cabinetry and moldings, following the lines of the living room and dining room paneling in the original house; the trusses and purlins are also similar in detail to those in the living room of the existing house.
