Charles de Lisle — Sea Ranch Lodge

- Bright midday sun casting sharp diagonal shadows across the wooden floor through the glazed facade and overhead louvers.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, luminous, and connected directly to the surrounding seaside landscape.
- Environmental context
- Coastal landscape with distant ocean horizon visible through full-height glazing.
- Spatial experience
- Moving from the darker threshold down the timber-clad hallway opens into a sun-drenched coastal room with direct sightlines to the sea.
