Unparalleled California Contemporary

Situated on over three private acres offering full views of the San Francisco Bay, this Woodside, California home combines its positioning with fascinating contemporary architecture.

Showcasing an abstract contemporary feel, the home’s style draws inspiration from renowned architect Richard Meier. An advocate of a pure form of modernism, Meier’s impressive credits include the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art and The Getty Center in Los Angeles among many others.

That influence is reflected in the home’s striking white color and towering walls of glass oriented toward the stunning views. Also designed to withstand a magnitude 8.3 earthquake under the supervision of the original owner, a well-known structural engineer, 140,000 pounds of steel were used in construction.

Lush grounds are just as impressive with a striking terraced design with a “living rooftop” over the lower level, infinity edge pool and spa and green expanses. Inside are a two-story living room, customized library and office, and three bedroom suites on the upper level. Two multi-room apartments on the lower level are connected by a glass-enclosed courtyard positioned perfectly for poolside entertaining.

This amazing home is currently listed at $14.8 million by Luxury Portfolio member Alain Pinel Realtors.

JoAnne Loftus's Gravatar 140,000 pounds of steel?! That's one homeowner that wanted to make sure nothing would ruin his home. And yet they keep the house feeling open and light with grand windows and spectacular views.

LuxeInACity's Gravatar Richard Meier is such a great architect. I love of the idea of a living rooftop as a secret hideaway. Especially if there is a garden to enjoy.
