Atherton
One-of-a-Kind in Atherton – A Glass House with Bay Views
This engineering and architectural masterpiece is a one-of-a-kind residence made from the highest level of architectural formed concrete, glass, and steel. Built in 2017, the home comprises two “L” shaped forms that balance on top of one another, creating courts and overhangs that define the indoor and outdoor spaces with bridges and two floating cantilevers, each spanning 23 feet. Designed as much for the terrain as for privacy, the walls facing the street are primarily solid with strategically placed glass, allowing natural light to brighten the space. On the sides away from the street, the walls are made entirely of glass, offering maximum enjoyment of the far-reaching views out to the San Francisco skyline.
There are 16,000+ total square feet, with a three-level main residence plus two separate buildings, each with a full kitchen, with flexibility for guests, office, and/or poolside entertaining needs. Behind the scenes, everything needed for comfort and convenience is found with wiring for home automation, solar panels for electricity, and multiple car charging stations. Added amenities include such luxuries as a 7-hole golf practice area, golf simulation screen, theater, and a design for elevator, if desired.
