The shade canopy and deck addition at twilight, looking toward remodeled pool and the new spa. Before this project the pool deck was severely constrained and the edges near the downhill slope were unsafe. (This shot was taken before our second project, a landscape project at the grassy yard at left here....)

Owner of the original house, designed by Lyndon/Buchanan Architects needed an addition to provide her with an office space to be able to work while staying at the Sea Ranch. The addition is made up of two pieces: Studio space fronting the ocean on the west and the picturesque rock outcropping to the southwest, and a new garage pointing toward the stream and its band of myrtles. The link between the two creates an extension to a fenced orchard and on the south side creates an interior court entry area enclosed by the utility sheds. Protected from the prevailing northwest winds by the two-story bedroom wing and perched at mid-level, new sunny decks augment the studio areas and becomes one of the principal spaces of the addition. The bathroom, a compact skylit space, opens across the balcony of the stairway to the office space below. The forms of the house are made simply: a shed rises up over the living areas, an opposite, subsidiary shed covers the bathroom, middle landing and entry. The wood-frame construction of the house plays with the light falling on its interior surfaces, and the Douglas fir wood walls and tile floor glow with warmth in a climate where pullovers are generally welcome. Skylights play an important role in bringing morning sun into the spaces and in balancing light throughout the day. The exterior surfaces are all clad in redwood siding, weathering to settle in among the meadow and the trees.

The original residence designed by Lyndon Buchanan Associates includes two pieces, the main house and a second building that houses a small workshop, guest room and bath. The addition is adjacent to existing work spaces, and includes shelving, drawers and nooks as well as work space that will be isolated, but adjacent to the rooms of the house, making it easier to use in connection with studio spaces and proximate to exhibition cases. The addition is sited on the north west side of the main house, in a location that does not disturb any views from other houses or from Sea Gate Road, and is designed to add a segment that provides better wind-shade, privacy and sound protection for the exterior decks on the southwest. Its roof is sloped down towards the north and into the wind, providing the most effective wind-shadow protection from the common winds, and minimizing walls facing north. Large openings on the south will bring in solar gain, to be stored in the concrete floors, which will also have radiant heating. The workspace will have access from both the house and the garden, and a small concrete pad outdoors. Project was done in collaboration with Donlyn Lyndon, FAIA.
