California Ranch
Inspired by Cliff May· no affiliation
Mid-century California ranch reframed contemporary — adobe, redwood, courtyards.
- Low-slung horizontal massing — single story, deep horizontal proportions.
- U-shape or L-shape courtyard layout extending the home around outdoor space.
- Indoor-outdoor continuity — sliding glass walls opening to courtyards.
- Natural redwood throughout — ceilings, beams, accents, never painted.
Scope
Major addition
Second story, major footprint expansion, ADU. The home grows.
Significant structural intervention: add a second story to a single-story home, grow the footprint by 30%+, add an attached or detached ADU. The original structure is the starting point but the result is meaningfully larger.
