Located in Encinitas, Calif., the home is perched on prime waterfront property with incredible views of the Pacific coastline. An upper and lower seawall gives added protection to the house, which also includes a three-car garage.
With views like these, every inch should be on display. Clear glass railings make sure that's the case, giving the feeling that the roof deck is floating up with the clouds.
The sleek design of this modern home includes a bold, geometric stairway that cuts a jagged line across the vast white walls. The space's only color comes from art and lighting, including two amber-glass floor lamps that double as modern art. Wood finishes mix with white walls to bring both drama and warmth to the space.
A glass-paned railing and beige-colored walls allow the sleek metal framework of the railing to stand out in the space. Natural light from the surrounding windows and door flows freely throughout the area thanks to the transparent railing.
The foyer feels light as a feather with its two-story-high ceiling and walls full of windows. A stairway seems to float up to the second floor, enclosed in smoky gray glass.
Urban Floating Wooden Staircase with Glass Railing
This contemporary foyer dazzles guests upon arrival. A warm wood staircase boasts a sleek glass railing and stacked stone accent wall, while brilliant glass pendant lights glow overhead.
Reclaimed wood planks in a dark stain are used for the stair treads, and a modern glass railing adds security without taking up visual space, as seen on HGTV's Elbow Room.
A glass railing allows this loft area to feel connected to the floor below. Circular mirrors upstairs and a circular art piece downstairs create a cohesive look in the decor. The modern design uses charcoal and black furniture to create contrast against the bright white walls.
