The Sea Ranch Lodge

 

The iconic Sea Ranch Lodge, on a 53-acre property, is one of the oldest buildings at The Sea Ranch. It was designed to serve a central role as a cultural hub for the community, housing a post office, land sales office, and information center for new visitors. After serving its initial purpose, it was expanded into a hotel. In late 2018 The Sea Ranch Lodge was acquired with the intention to fulfill the vision of the original developer and group of architects. Respect for the land and the stewardship of it, sustainability for The Sea Ranch and beyond, as well as the desire to create a gathering place for all Sea Ranchers motivated them to make the purchase. Over the last 3 years we set about thoughtfully restoring the South Building to its original beauty and are in the midst of completing the renovation of the guest accommodations while passionately maintaining the vision and alignment of the beauty of this place. The aim to advance the early vision set forth and, as Lawrence Halprin once said, and be the “shining emblem of what a community can become.”

We are celebrating the Anniversary of our reopening in October 2021. We’ve treasured welcoming friends and neighbors from near and far back to The Lodge. Highly anticipated, The Lodge guest rooms will be launched in the Summer of 2023. Until then, you can enjoy “the heart of the community” at The Dining Room, The Bar & Lounge, The Café, The General Store, and The Links Golf Course. You can also hold celebrations, events, and weddings at The Lodge or join us for unique Sea Ranch activities, art exhibits, and community experiences.

History

Living lightly on the land
line drawing

"Because of reaching for a view, or because the wind needs to be blocked. Something about the environment has informed the geometry."

–Donlyn Lyndon, Architect

The visionary Al Boeke, architect, assembled a stellar group of architects and design professionals. For prototype buildings the architectural firm of Moore, Lyndon, Turnbull, and Whitaker was hired to design Condominium One along the bluffs and architect Joseph Esherick to design a cluster of houses nestled in a hedgerow. Lawrence Halprin, landscape architect, studied the topography, weather, and vegetation that inspired the original master plan. His vision was based largely on the historical and ecological community.

The original designers evolved a concept of dynamic conservation of 'living lightly on the land.' A covenant would enforce stewardship of natural resources through an owners’ association of residents who felt an instinctive relationship with the environment.

Meant to be experienced as much as to be spelled out, the concept of 'living lightly on the land' starts with respect for nature. Each landscape element should be recognized and nurtured, reinforcing natural forms and scale. The specific site provides the identity, establishing a 'territorial partnership' with any structure placed within it, not upon it. Building materials should be drawn from nature: rough and simple.
