The steep hillside lot had been developed with a single-family residence (1965), which was at the maximum area for local zoning; therefore, the only way to enlarge the residence was to add a basement. During the cost analysis process, it became clear that supporting the house while creating a basement – and then substantially remodeling the remaining structure – would require far more effort and treasure than to replace the house entirely.
Located just over one mile from the San Andreas Fault, the Owners tasked the design team to find a superior solution to the “Life Safety” standard required by Code. The team combined advances in seismic analysis and building technology to create for the owners one of the most seismically resilient houses built in the US.
The newly designed house takes full advantage of the potential of this beautiful site. The home centers on large public rooms opening to outdoor spaces and the use of natural light. On the top level, the kitchen and family room sit side-by-side creating a shared space, with an expansive floor-to-ceiling folding door system allowing the rooms to open completely to the south-facing upper terrace and garage roof deck. An outdoor cooking area supports both family dinners as well as large gatherings of friends and family. Also on the top level, a living room and lounge area open to a large deck cantilevered high above the ground and oriented to the northern views. The feeling of being “in the trees” enhances the connection to the impressive landscape.

Century Stair CompanyThis one-of-a-kind staircase brings bold architectural presence to this condo. A solid white mono-beam supports thick red oak treads that float without risers, creating an open vertical connection between the different levels of the home. The horizontal stainless steel balustrade system flows seamlessly alongside the oak treads, maintaining visual transparency while providing safety and structure.
A spacious landing area creates a natural pause in the ascent, while the open design allows natural light to travel freely through all living spaces. The craftsmanship blends perfectly with the developer's high-end architectural finishes, proving that structural innovation and elegant simplicity go hand in hand.

Rooftopia, LLCIt is our passion to design and build truly glamorous extensions of any living space and harmoniously merge the indoor and outdoor environments. Rooftopia enjoys offering all of our clients a turnkey solution for luxury outdoor living and appreciates the rewards of planning and overseeing each outdoor room transformation from start to finish.
This cozy outdoor lounge and kitchen is accessible and visible year round from the primary living areas of the residence, so it was very important for our team to develop and create a cohesive design that looks amazing even when the space is not in use, as it is an immediate extension of the home. The evening mood is relaxed and magical. The deck is primarily used for outdoor grilling, entertaining, and includes a cozy seating and dining area.
The high end outdoor kitchen features a gas grill, an integrated vent hood, marine grade aluminum cabinets, custom concrete countertops and an outdoor TV. The pergola and privacy screens are a mix of cedar and steel and the flooring tiles are porcelain.
Creating shade and privacy around much of the space, automatically limits access to natural light, a key part of the design was a well crafted lighting plan. While offering functionality and safety the lighting in this outdoor lounge also provides cohesion and a warm elegant ambience. Lighting fixtures include several up-down wall lights and a series of integrated LEDs in the pergola that reflect light from the decorative ceiling materials and structural I-beams.
