Hillside View Remodel - Belmont

This house for two technology executives and their son takes advantage of a stunning view over the San Francisco Bay and northern Silicon Valley. Floor to ceiling windows open the kitchen and living areas to the curved Ironwood wood deck outside, while painted casement windows present a more restrained face to the street. Vertical cedar siding, pigmented cement plaster and a simple dark roof are punctuated by a deep red vent pipe and entry trellis on the exterior. A subtle curving stairway of floating maple treads leads to the studio and lower bedrooms, while the adjacent main floor office is enclosed by glass. High central clerestory windows flood the interior with daylight. Cia Gould
