Blissful Breeze Timber House

Two long horizontal roofs float over this house, the lower one sheltering a wraparound porch where you can sit outside in any weather. Inside, the ceilings are lined with cedar and the floors are polished concrete with radiant heat.

The plan is open but well zoned: kitchen and living in the middle, a bedroom wing on each side, and a stone chimney that anchors the whole thing. The garage includes a workshop bench and storage for bikes and boards.

Sea Ranch design guidelines keep the landscape open and the houses quiet. Shell Beach is a ten-minute walk along the bluff trail.
