Sea Ranch House, Canada
Presenting Sea Ranch House, inspired by Sonoma County’s iconic coastal community to embody west coast modernism and profound connection to nature.
Nestled in West Vancouver’s coveted Caulfield neighbourhood, Stuart Howard’s design unfolds on a sprawling, private forested lot. The home resonates with Sea Ranch’s ecological ethos, flaunting natural wood finishes that harmonize exquisitely with its lush green surroundings.
Dramatic sloped shed roofs blend with the rugged terrain, shaping dynamic multi-tiered living spaces that capture sweeping forest and ocean vistas. Expansive windows and skylights usher in a dance of light and shadow, imbuing the interiors with a majestic west coast splendour.
A paragon of modernism and tranquility, Sea Ranch House is ready to inspire its next custodian.
Sea Ranch is an unincorporated community in Sonoma County, California, United States that was developed as a planned community beginning in the 1960s. It is known for its distinctive timber-frame structures designed by several noted American architects. Developed in the 1960s by architect and planner Al Boeke, the community was envisioned as an environmentally sensitive group of homes that would preserve the open space and natural character of the surrounding landscape.
“Few residential developments can boast the kind of romantic mythology that surrounds Sea Ranch, the quietly radical planned community that sprang up in the mid- to late 1960s along the Pacific coastline roughly 100 miles north of San Francisco.
Buoyed by a barrage of international press, Sea Ranch sparked the imagination of a generation of design aficionados with its vision of humble wood dwellings—spare, hybrid forms that integrated vernacular and modernist architectural idioms—nestled peaceably within the natural splendor of its oceanfront site.” – Architectural Digest, 2020
