This is a new house commissioned by a couple who were already full-time residents at The Sea Ranch and they wanted a larger house, more sheltered from the elements than the one they already owned. The new house is located in the lee of a hedgerow and is an inverted plan, with the living spaces on the floor above the bedrooms, to make the most of its bluff-top location. Thus, the living room, dining room and breakfast room and kitchen, which are all open to each other and the view, are on the upper floor, and the bedrooms, with a study, art studio and garage are on the first floor. There is also a deck for outdoor dining adjacent to the kitchen and over the master bedroom.
