This is a 1730 SF vacation/future retirement house on a flat ocean meadow lot with moderate views. The owners requested a house that was simple, natural and spacious. An additional concern was to make the house harmonious with the landscape, thereby reaffirming the original Sea Ranch philosophy of building in partnership with the land.

The house seeks consonance with the land and exemplary standing in the emerging community. Two prominent rock formations rise out of the commons to the west and suggested considering the house as a metaphorical third. The composition shingle and sod-roofed wedge sweeps up out of the meadow achieving harmony with the horizontality of the setting. Not only had the house become a part of the meadow, the meadow has become a part of the house.
