Mountain views
Gorgeous views of the Santa Ynez Mountains are provided by this glass-walled Montecito home. As wildfires often ravage this part of the Santa Barbara coast, the architects chose fire-resistant materials (steel, concrete) for the construction.
Double exposure
Each floor of this Santa Monica home offers a great view. Open up the master bedroom's awning windows or slide open the ground-floor doors for even more exposure.
Vineyard retreat
This Sonoma County home capitalizes on its vineyard views. Three levels of windows give every room a gorgeous view-even the master closet.
Modern duplex
Designed by Richard Neutra, one of America's foremost modern architects, this duplex in San Francisco glows from its floor-to-ceiling steel-framed windows.
Coastal getaway
A huge dining bay gives dinnertime guests an unobstructed view of the Sonoma coast.
Elegant warehouse
Although it looks like this house has no walls or windows, it's due to the garage-like doors of glass and steel that can be rolled up to embrace the outdoors. A band of clerestory windows runs along the northern, neighbor-facing side of the house to provide privacy.
