Project Overview
Set on a scenic hillside with expansive views of the surrounding ridgelines and the bay, this Tiburon property home called for a railing that would protect the outdoor space while keeping the horizon completely open. The homeowners needed a modern solution that felt light and architectural, something that would complement the home’s clean lines and elevate the deck without introducing bulky vertical posts.
We installed a frameless glass railing system with clear panels and a crisp aluminum cap rail that delivers a subtle finished edge. The low-profile base mounting helps the glass appear to rise directly from the deck line, creating a smooth, uninterrupted visual field. This approach is ideal for view properties in Tiburon, where the best design choice is often the one that quietly disappears and lets the landscape do the talking.
The result is a refined, low-visual-impact glass railing that balances safety and sophistication with everyday livability, a sleek outdoor upgrade that supports the home’s modern character and maximizes the value of its hillside vantage point.
