The Cook house at The Sea Ranch was designed to meet the needs of an active family with two young children, who wanted to take full advantage of coastal living. As The Sea Ranch reaches full build-out, the major design challenge is to create a sense of shelter and privacy amid an expansive meadow and between neighboring houses. A T-shaped floor plan was positioned to take full advantage of unobstructed ocean views and create sheltered outdoor spaces . Windows were positioned to let in maximum natural light, capture ridge and ocean views , while minimizing the sight of nearby structures and roadways from the principle spaces. The interior finishes are simple and warm, echoing the surrounding natural beauty. Scuba diving, hiking, and beach play meant a significant amount of sand would accompany the family home from their outings, so the architect designed an outdoor shower and an adjacent mud room to help contain the outdoor elements. Durable finishes such as the concrete floors are up to the challenge. The home is a tranquil vessel that cleverly accommodates both active engagement and calm respite from a busy weekday schedule.

This warm, rich space has ample seating with the sectional, lounge chairs and ottomans. Whether it is watching the big game, playing pool or dealing poker, this room provides many centers of activity. Continuing the cinnamon, chocolate and turquoise colors from other areas of the home, designer Brandi Hagen gave the spaces continuity. The wet bar features custom cabinetry of rift-cut oak and an island with a Palomino stone top in an antiqued finish. Contemporary bent wood stools add an element of fun.

WINNER: FIRST PLACE, Kitchen Design / ASID SAN DIEGO / “2008 Design Excellence Awards” Photo credit: Arclinea San Diego / Gail Owens Photography Design by Lisa Wilson-Wirth, CKD, featuring custom cabinetry from The Arclinea Collection (Source: Arclinea San Diego). PROJECT GOALS: With a passion for the delicious moments family gatherings bring, this oceanfront hi-rise vacation condo was extensively remodeled to meet the needs of a vibrant extended family. Fundamental to the Clients’ recipe for family harmony: an open, contemporary living plan to connect the kitchen, dinning and living areas with the condo’s exquisite views. “Breaking down walls,” a multi-functional peninsula now defines the kitchen perimeter — inviting participation in preparation and consumption —providing an axis from which all other activities radiate. Living, dining, cooking and socializing co-exist in a continual interlacing of relationships and activity. PROJECT FEATURES: Work surfaces are kept to one height, and work zones carefully placed to take advantage of sweeping ocean views and extensive natural day-lighting. To satisfy the culinary requirements of multiple cooks within a small kitchen footprint, every Arclinea cabinet incorporates unique solutions for maximizing storage and enhancing culinary work functions in ergonomically sensitive ways. GREEN DESIGN: Materials specified are ecologically sensitive and cutting-edge. Arclinea cabinets feature sustainably-sourced stained oak veneers in medium grey, paired with our water-based white matte lacquer, and recyclable acid-etched glass. (The finishes complement the coastal setting and offer easy-care maintenance in a household with children.) Cabinets feature Arclinea's recessed “Italia” handle-grips in stainless steel and stainless steel plinths. The resulting award-winning kitchen design is a true recipe for modern living — a sophisticated but accessible design that is integral to all the household activities. ©Lisa Wilson-Wirth, CKD / ©Arclinea San Diego.
