Django admin page 404

When I try to navigate to the admin section of my django app, I get a not found error:

project/urls.py

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib   import admin
from app.views import View1, View2
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', View1.as_view(), name="view_1"),
    url(r'^another_view/(?P<pk>\d+)$', View2.as_view(), name="view_2"),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

app/urls.py

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib   import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    (r'^/', include('project.urls')),
]

project/settings.py

....
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'app/static'),)

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIAFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'app/media'),)
....

When I try to navigate to localhost:8000/admin, I get the following error:

Page Not Found (404)

Using the URLconf defined in app.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^$ [name='view_1']
^another_view$ [name='view_2']
^media\/(?P<path>.*)$
The current URL, admin, didn't match any of these.

You have the app and project urls the wrong way round.

The project urls should contain the mapping for the admin, and include the app urls; the app urls in turn should contain the specific mappings for the app views.

The static stuff should still be in the project urls though; although you shouldn't need it in any case.
