The Office of Charles de Lisle, the first phase of the project was
completed Oct. 1. Occupying 53 acres of the community, The Sea
Ranch Lodge — made of the original 10,000-square-foot structure
— is now home to The Dining Room helmed by Executive Chef Eric
Piacentine, The Bar & Lounge (including a solarium space), The
Café, The General Store and the revamped Post Office.
Walls and partitions were removed to maximize the views toward
the Pacific Ocean, the feeling of openness and the connection
with the exterior, while the wind-shaped coastline and traditional
barn structures were constant sources of inspiration for every
person who worked on this project. Materials and details that were
similar to the originals helped to preserve the old character of the
property where the interior spaces feature comfortable furniture
and low lighting, highlighting the peaceful atmosphere.
"We are excited to honor the vision of the original developer and
original group of architects — including Al Boeke, Lawrence
Halprin, and MLTW (Charles Moore, Donlyn Lyndon, William
Turnbull and Richard Whitaker) — stewardship and respect of
the land, sustainability for The Sea Ranch and [create] a gathering
place for all Sea Ranchers," said Kristina Jetton, general manager
of The Sea Ranch Lodge. "As we continue to fulfill their original
master plan, we will always design and host experiences here that
live in harmony with the natural elements that make The Sea Ranch
so special. We look forward to welcoming Sea Ranchers, locals,
visitors and the next generation of creators to dine at our new
restaurant, walk the trails, enjoy a memorable event in the meadow,
or simply come by and be inspired by this magical coastal setting."
And this is just the beginning. The second phase, which will
consist of remodeling 17 guest rooms and creating a space for
weddings, gatherings and retreats, has already begun.
