A stunning view from the porch connected to the interior space through bi-parting, sliding glass doors.

The home’s spectacular views – from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge – are spotlighted by fixed windows, multi-slide, sliding glass doors, and pivot doors from Western Window Systems. The mansion also includes a wine cellar, resort-style spa room, and an elevator that travels to each of the home’s three levels.

A bank of white Western Window Systems windows lends itself nicely to the California style exhibited in this fireplace room.

The next challenge was arranging the flow of spaces for socialization. “One of the biggest things for me is inclusivity of spaces, so you can interact with each other, even though the spaces are separate,” Nassos says. Add this to the desire to feel connected to the outdoors and the beautiful views, and glass became a big part of the plan.

The dining room seamlessly merges with the back patio thanks to huge doors and giant windows from Western Window Systems.

A bi-parting sliding glass door lets the cool Bay Area air into the master suite, while a wall of windows gives the home’s residents an enviable view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
