House of the Day: Sea Ranch Condominium by MLTW

April 1st, 2016

This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.

A client that I visited this week, a frequent visitor to Sea Ranch, couldn’t believe that I didn’t know the houses on this rocky outcrop of California. When I looked them up, I was amazed I hadn’t come across them before. This one is the best of an incredible bunch. Designed by architects Charles Moore, Donlyn Lyndon, William Turnbull and Richard Whitaker (MLTW) in 1965, in collaboration with landscape architect Lawrence Halprin, the house appears to cling limpet-like to the landscape, as much land art as architecture.
