A minimalist house with amazing views over the Pacific Ocean was built by San Francisco-based Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects. Secluded on a hilly mountainous landscape, wood almost covered the Sea Ranch Residence. Simple on the outside, the house design was beautiful with its warm interior that cedar ceilings and sheetrock walls were featured. The wooden house, with large windows that welcome natural light and contemporary furniture, was perfect for those who enjoy both the chilly nights in the mountains and the sunny days on the beach.
