Mount Tamalpais Retreat Marin County, CA
For a family seeking a rejuvenating retreat, Boxleaf designed a nature-focused landscape. Organized around restorative elements, the wellness garden includes a custom pool, cold plunge, hot tub, and meditation deck. A modern wood slat trellis shelters the outdoor kitchen and a dining table by master carpenter Peter Witte. Restrained materials and site-sensitive practices ensure a light touch on the land. Thermally modified Ash decking, a renewable resource, was selected to maintain the site’s permeability and natural drainage patterns. An outdoor shower empties to an bio- infiltration swale. Unfettered and zen, this family enclave invites a relaxing immersion in nature.
