This house is modern bridge house design was designed architect Stanley Saitowitz located in Marin, California. Built with natural landscape and bridge modeling for house design.

The long, narrow stucture spans a rocky ravine from east to west, bridging two sides of the hilly property. The strict linear shape of the home is balanced by its exterior Cor-Ten cladding. The steel cladding was allowed to weather naturally, which resulted in a deep red patina of surface rust. Large glass panels alternate with the Cor-Ten, allowing residents views from high above the ravine. At one side of the home, a sloping concrete driveway leads to an entrance courtyard, while a pool runs perpendicular to the home at the opposite end. Interior spaces reflect the exterior aesthetic in their linearity.
