The iconic Willis Mills Home of 1955, an orderly 4,200 foot grid of glass and redwood sited on a steep, tree-lined incline is the height of the International Style. A double-height, glass-ringed living room is cantilevered out from the hillside, offset by diagonal balconies and terraces. The renovated kitchen and lower level by Bassam/Fellows compliments Mills' initial serene statement, revealing a sophistication of detail and richness of material. Note the Japanese gardens and stone-lined pool.
