The northern California coastal modernist destination gets an update.
There’s a calm that washes over one after driving up the foggy, somewhat treacherous Sonoma Coast and arriving at The Sea Ranch Lodge. All weathered wood and glass, with staggering views of sea bluffs and breaching whales in the Pacific Ocean below, the hub of the ’60s utopian planned community feels like the architectural equivalent of a cleanse.
In the mid ’60s, visionary developer Al Boeke of Oceanic Properties identified 10 miles of a former sheep ranch as the ideal place to create a planned community. The rooms exude a simple, organic luxury, with custom headboards, window benches and desks built by Santa Cruz Woodworks, midcentury Hans Wegner elbow chairs and armadillo loungers by Mut Design. Some have ladders to lofts with an additional bed.Each room features a woven piece by Berkeley artist Jess Feury, ceramics by San Francisco-based artist Sasinun Kladpetch, a beach bag and walking stick. The views are postcard-idyllic and there are fireplaces for chilly nights.
