Designed by Swatt Miers Architects, Garay residence is situated in is in Tiburon, California, United States.

The website is a half acre south-facing hillside plot, with unobstructed views of San Francisco Bay in the south, east and west. In response to the physical conditions of the web site, the new residence is nearly totally on the north side, where a new entrance Motor Court is of a rhythm of 5 "detached" stone-clad walls limited opaque. Shards of glass separate the flagstones, creating a sturdy rhythm and are tiny hint of the exceptional rooms and views of the other side.

The progression of space starts with a low, input pressure, resulting in a higher circulation spine. Bathed in light from clerestory windows and skylights, overlooking the spine of the new living, dining space and kitchen 'Pavilion', and new south-facing terraces, with world-class views of San Francisco Bay beyond. Frameless glazing, pocket glass doors, and dramatic cantilevered roof extension seamlessly interior to exterior space, blurring the line in between two.
