The edge of the pool on the ravine side is topped with a three-inch tempered glass wall providing a visible zero edge. The area below the wall drops off steeply, so the side wall of the pool acts as a retaining wall. Extensive special engineering permits and tree permits were required to conform to the stringent ravine lot restrictions.

When fully closed, the double-pane, argon-filled tempered glass provides superior insulation, blocking harmful UV rays while meeting California's stringent Title 24 energy efficiency standards. This ensures lower energy costs and ensures a comfortable indoor environment year-round.

Located in Menlo Park, California, this 3,000 sf. remodel was carefully crafted to generate excitement and make maximum use of the owner’s strict budget and comply with the city’s stringent planning code. It was understood that not everything was to be redone from a prior owner’s quirky remodel which included odd inward angled walls, circular windows and cedar shingles. Remedial work to remove and prevent dry rot ate into the budget as well. Studied alterations to the exterior include a new trellis over the garage door, pushing the entry out to create a new soaring stair hall and stripping the exterior down to simplify its appearance. The new steel entry stair leads to a floating bookcase that pivots to the family room. For budget reasons, it was decided to keep the existing cedar shingles. Upstairs, a large oak multi-level staircase was replaced with the new simple run of stairs. The impact of angled bedroom walls and circular window in the bathroom were calmed with new clean white walls and tile. Photo Credit: John Sutton Photography.

Conceived of as a vertical light box, Cleft House features walls made of translucent panels as well as massive sliding window walls. Located on an extremely narrow lot, the clients required contemporary design, waterfront views without loss of privacy, sustainability, and maximizing space within stringent cost control.
