The Sea Ranch: Alternative Communal Living

The 1960s: The Sea Ranch, Sonoma Coast, built: 1964-1972 | Even today, the vision of the architects of the Sea Ranch (1965) is considered one of the first holistically planned US residential complexes and the ultimate for architects with a sense for environmental protection. The Sea Ranch interprets modernity as a stronger focus on nature and as a utopia of living together. The land belongs to everyone, only the houses on it can be bought.
