This 6,000-square-foot home terraces down a steep, sloped lot in Tiburon with dramatic views of the bay. It features spectacular and unobstructed views of San Francisco, San Francisco Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge to the south.
The living spaces open up to the views, and the large decks and cantilevered terraces allow for ample outdoor living. Water is a prominent feature of this home, beginning with a waterfall at the entry that becomes a narrow water feature running directly through the public living areas and out to the pool facing the bay.
Integrating Smart Technology without Compromising Aesthetics
Blending technology into the home’s design was paramount. In a residence where architecture and landscape are in perfect harmony, the smart home system needs to complement—not compete with—the home’s aesthetic.
We worked hand in hand with the design team to fit tight tolerances, ensuring that every element of automation complemented the home’s architectural vision. With precise planning and execution, we designed and implemented a home automation system that elevated convenience, security, and ambiance without disrupting the aesthetic.
We installed a fully integrated Savant system, providing intuitive control over the entire home—from lighting and shading to security and entertainment—allowing effortless management of daily routines. Custom-programmed Lutron lighting and automated shades were configured to adapt throughout the day, balancing natural light while preserving privacy and energy efficiency.
To maintain a clean and unobtrusive aesthetic, we discreetly integrated surveillance cameras and access control systems to enhance security without compromising the home’s elegance. Our expert team seamlessly incorporated whole-home audio by Sonance into both indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring an immersive sound experience whether relaxing in the living room or enjoying the expansive terraces.
Every element of automation was carefully designed to enhance the home’s luxurious lifestyle, delivering effortless control, enhanced comfort, and a truly connected living experience.
A Unique Multi-Level Home with Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
The home is organized on three levels that step down the steep hillside. The entry and all ‘public’ spaces—kitchen, dining, living, and family spaces—are located on the middle level, accessed by dual landscape stairways from the east and west ends of the property. A double-height living space adds drama and vertical connectivity to the interior spatial composition. Family bedrooms are located on the upper level, with the master suite featuring a private outdoor Japanese ‘onsen’ open-air bathing area that overlooks San Francisco Bay. A children’s play area is located on the lower level.
Deep, cantilevered terraces are located on the south side of all levels of the home, extending interior spaces to the exterior and creating outdoor living areas that overlook some of the most beautiful views in the San Francisco Bay Area.
