Contemporary dream pad boasts sweeping views over San Francisco Bay

contemporary-home-exterior

This contemporary dream home offers sweeping views over the San Francisco Bay, designed by Polsky Perlstein Architects in Belvedere, a city in Marin County, California. This affluent neighborhood features a temperate climate, where the fog that covers San Francisco generally does not come this way, making it perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The clients of this custom dream home requested that their space capture light, maximize the surrounding views and celebrate their life together. The home is connected to the outdoors on both levels, with the main level having extensive windows and doors that opens to a spacious terrace that showcases pristine views from the Golden Gate Bridge to Mt Tamalpais.

The entryway into the home is a stunning elliptical volume that features a winding staircase with a glass handrail for transparency. If you look up, you will notice a cove ceiling that is painted in a dramatic purple hue with a suspended glass disk chandelier that can be seen from outside. This central hallway connects to the office hallway, kitchen, great room and up the staircase to the master bedroom suite.
