Project Overview
The home at this Tiburon property is built around its vantage point — a wide, elevated terrace with sweeping views across the Bay toward the surrounding shoreline and iconic landmarks. The homeowners needed a railing system that could secure a generous outdoor footprint while keeping the visual field as open as possible. With so much usable exterior space, the railing had to feel sleek and continuous, not segmented or bulky.
We installed a refined glass railing that reads as nearly frameless across the long terrace runs. The clear panels preserve natural light and sight-lines, while the slim cap rail provides a subtle horizontal definition that complements the home’s modern lines and the clean, large-format terrace surface. The minimal base detail allows the glass to appear integrated into the architecture — ideal for high-end Tiburon properties where the goal is to protect the edge without visually “closing in” the view.
The result is a sophisticated, low-visual-impact glass railing that elevates both safety and design. It transforms a dramatic outdoor setting into an effortless extension of the home — open, secure, and perfectly aligned with the premium coastal lifestyle.
