The Sea Ranch<br />
1963-98 • SEA RANCH, CA<br />
Located on a ten-mile stretch of the California coast, about 100 miles north of San<br />
Francisco, this former sheep ranch was purchased in 1963 by developer Oceanic<br />
Properties. <strong>Lawrence</strong> <strong>Halprin</strong> was hired to create a master plan for a residential community.<br />
He integrated emerging environmental principals into his plan, attempting minimal intrusion<br />
into the native environment. Houses were placed within the natural framework of the coastal<br />
hills, clustered between hedgerows to provide both wind protection and ocean views.<br />
Community facilities were incorporated into the site plan, such as a recreation center and<br />
a post office. <strong>Halprin</strong> drew inspiration from his early years on a kibbutz in conceptualizing<br />
the communal clusters. Architects Moore Lyndon Turnbull Whitaker and Joseph Esherick &<br />
Associates designed many of the residences.<br />
