Andrea Montalbano:
Andrea Montalbano is a registered architect with a background in residential, commercial and mixed-use design. She is interested in the social aspects of the built environment - how we shape the environment and how it shapes us - and holds a post-professional Master of Science in Architecture degree, with an emphasis in City and Regional Planning, from UC Berkeley. Andrea has worked exclusively in the field of single-family residential design for the past ten years and is presently Senior project architect at Sogno Design Group, in Albany, California.
Andrea joined the Design Review Board in 2017, where she seeks to balance the preservation and enhancement of the natural environment with today's socio-economic challenges; increased housing demand and modernization as well as commercial development pressures and its necessities. She has resided in Mill Valley's Muir Woods Park neighborhood since 2014 and believes that southern Marin County is best place to live in the world, not only because of its vast open space adjacent to a world-class city and its open minded, forward-thinking residents, but because of its irresistibly charming and unique built environment, which she hopes to help protect.
