Built in 1978 for Fred and Margery Tarp, the couple worked closely together with renowned architect Obie Bowman on significant renovations and expansions in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s to continue to refine and adapt the house according to Bowman’s and the Tarp’s ultimate vision. As a result, the home uniquely crystalizes Bowman’s practice and features superb examples of singular Bowman touches from all phases of his career. Bold geometric forms cascade down the slope into the enveloping forest, a bedroom cantilevers out below the canopy behind a wall of glass, and dramatic skylights provide striking interior views while immersing the center of the house in light. Complex plays of space and multi-leveled interiors create dramatic exterior forms, and the lines between indoor and outdoor are continually blurred through his emphasis on transparency, linked pavilions, and bridges. The Sea Ranch On a ten-mile stretch of the Northern California coast lies the site of a radical architectural experiment. Welcome to The Sea Ranch, a place where environment shapes geometry and buildings embody ideals. The environmentally responsive design philosophies explored at The Sea Ranch caused a quiet revolution in architecture that continues to resonate today. Award-winning buildings by internationally renowned architects like Joseph Esherick, Charles Moore, William Turnbull, and Obie Bowman are interspersed throughout several thousand acres, disappearing into large, open meadows, redwood forests, and rugged cliffs. <img width="1440" height="960" width_o="1440" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e98550297ee4a2c766884689e368062f4f53a6a5d67ee7381bda615d3bc50968/TH-02A.JPG" data-mid="149204517" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e98550297ee4a2c766884689e368062f4f53a6a5d67ee7381bda615d3bc50968/TH-02A.JPG" /> <img width="4200" height="2800" width_o="4200" height_o="2800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3da8f798eb3b891538799425ac483d07b36cffec4784ed29dd0709d06795e46b/TH-01.jpg" data-mid="149197546" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3da8f798eb3b891538799425ac483d07b36cffec4784ed29dd0709d06795e46b/TH-01.jpg" /> <img width="1440" height="960" width_o="1440" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e4fe70c061284ee54a0785e8d8e065f7690b5b40ccbd66aa4fd3c9014128cc6d/TH-03.jpg" data-mid="149204519" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e4fe70c061284ee54a0785e8d8e065f7690b5b40ccbd66aa4fd3c9014128cc6d/TH-03.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/05c7154cd07589292ba2b13b8355cb3760f7c02d81005e15eda9449b6644b9c4/IMG_0543.jpeg" data-mid="152142294" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/05c7154cd07589292ba2b13b8355cb3760f7c02d81005e15eda9449b6644b9c4/IMG_0543.jpeg" /> <img width="4200" height="2800" width_o="4200" height_o="2800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04d36a056678e26639645df3019726faee3631fb49c1ba40a1a67b96c9cd1102/TH-02.jpg" data-mid="149197548" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04d36a056678e26639645df3019726faee3631fb49c1ba40a1a67b96c9cd1102/TH-02.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/731089ef1a3fbab0bd1bf99db9adf18e80d0e9f5a7ab353cdf29f363ebb39c54/TH-20.jpg" data-mid="149204421" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/731089ef1a3fbab0bd1bf99db9adf18e80d0e9f5a7ab353cdf29f363ebb39c54/TH-20.jpg" /> <img width="827" height="549" width_o="827" height_o="549" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b76430f241a3093fd0f0dc8274a798102915a0d4fa8622664990d7e14ad62c75/TH-04.jpg" data-mid="149204402" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/827/i/b76430f241a3093fd0f0dc8274a798102915a0d4fa8622664990d7e14ad62c75/TH-04.jpg" /> <img width="6720" height="4480" width_o="6720" height_o="4480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0d01818e7a4c8cb3ef802a5cebe5c85c936357987886bb5903696afd9809bf35/TH-17A.JPG" data-mid="149204419" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0d01818e7a4c8cb3ef802a5cebe5c85c936357987886bb5903696afd9809bf35/TH-17A.JPG" /> <img width="1440" height="960" width_o="1440" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ec1b0f83fe544c5265eca704f778069ff4e2d6b539f7e21b3fbe0a86715f409/TH-19.jpg" data-mid="149204546" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ec1b0f83fe544c5265eca704f778069ff4e2d6b539f7e21b3fbe0a86715f409/TH-19.jpg" /> <img width="2954" height="3939" width_o="2954" height_o="3939" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/20857fb25eebacfdcf5804e3558eac568e0022481ce3badf1786505d687999a6/IMG_0534.jpeg" data-mid="152142408" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/20857fb25eebacfdcf5804e3558eac568e0022481ce3badf1786505d687999a6/IMG_0534.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2eae57f13ac4e9337dbe7246088a4de8224c7869823a04ae9a50217e897f4dbc/IMG_0556.jpeg" data-mid="152142275" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2eae57f13ac4e9337dbe7246088a4de8224c7869823a04ae9a50217e897f4dbc/IMG_0556.jpeg" /> https://tarphousesearanch.com/Page-2-Obie Sat, 30 Jul 2022 21:21:37 +0000 The Tarp House at the Sea Ranch https://tarphousesearanch.com/Page-2-Obie Obie BowmanObie Bowman is one of the most significant architects to have worked in the Sea Ranch. Bowman began in 1972 with the celebrated Walk In Cabins, a cluster of fifteen low-cost cabins that imaginatively maximize their interior space while minimizing the visual and physical impact on the rugged hillside. From there, he went on to realize a number of important projects in the Sea Ranch, from the Brunsell House (1987), a sod-roofed building that disappears into the landscape, to Tom and Karin’s place (1994) with its transparent roof opening to the forest canopy above, to of course the Tarp House (1977), among many other outstanding examples. In 2008, Bowman was inducted into the College of Fellows in the American Institute of Architects, and in 2022 he received the first Sea Ranch Distinguished Architect Award.“So many houses up here fall apart over time, while Obie’s just seem to get better.” — Tom Marble <img width="1532" height="1215" width_o="1532" height_o="1215" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24d0dcce4844d732c4d098d291bf3c0ff6503200a68d78ceb6f7d0eadb16c9b5/Walkincabins-04.jpeg" data-mid="149706610" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24d0dcce4844d732c4d098d291bf3c0ff6503200a68d78ceb6f7d0eadb16c9b5/Walkincabins-04.jpeg" /> Walk-In Cabins, 1972 “Some brilliantly designed, small walk-in cabins by Obie Bowman had nestled beautifully and modestly into upland forests where trees had been thinned and the forest floor cleared carefully and ecologically.” —Lawrence Halprin “I started thinking of a cube with a sliced-off roof. The top of the cabin is a skylight, so when you look up, it’s all greenery, where the beauty is.” —Obie Bowman The Walk-In Cabins were Obie Bowman’s first project in the Sea Ranch. Completed in 1972, this development of fifteen cabins on a rugged forest hillside restricts automobiles to a single parking area, with access from a series of foot trails. The ingeniously-designed cabins employ a square plan, two story structure that maximizes the interior volume. Like the Tarp House, the cabins are punctuated by dramatic skylights over the raised bedroom that provide canopy views and pull natural light throughout the space. <img width="975" height="764" width_o="975" height_o="764" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5bd61614673e2e08069f76b128374aa01617a1c60e6d000dc1a5698d6cfb5df/Walkincabins-01.jpeg" data-mid="149669461" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/975/i/f5bd61614673e2e08069f76b128374aa01617a1c60e6d000dc1a5698d6cfb5df/Walkincabins-01.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bf06edc1ce14f632cb50793843b080e1af9d8776612fc6cb7b4227f4e0b9ef45/Walkincabins-02.jpeg" data-mid="149669462" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bf06edc1ce14f632cb50793843b080e1af9d8776612fc6cb7b4227f4e0b9ef45/Walkincabins-02.jpeg" /> The Brunsell House, 1985 “The house is part of the meadow. The meadow is part of the house.” —Obie Bowman “The undulating form of the Brunsell House corresponds masterfully to the rolling form of the land. It is infused, inside and out, with a sense of being connected to the ground.” —Donlyn Lyndon, Among his many innovations in ecological building, Bowman’s pioneering work with sod roofs achieves its ultimate expression in the Brunsell House. Dug into the ground to minimize the structure’s visual impact, the Brunsell house disappears into the landscape, while at the same time creating a bold geometric thrust. The radical design acts as a windfoil and a grazing site, providing solar space and water heating, natural ventilation, and natural lighting. On the interior, separate bedroom wings converge on a large kitchen island, making it an anchoring design presence and focal point for social activity, as it is in the Tarp House. <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/799648d5cd8c56781d6e380611e8200351d9aa84a4bdd3ed271f9267f8833e24/Brunsell-03.jpeg" data-mid="149706424" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/799648d5cd8c56781d6e380611e8200351d9aa84a4bdd3ed271f9267f8833e24/Brunsell-03.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7773691ec71bf21951633b19ea6f9a1e8a5ff7c1db7d8006f4a0d04befb07277/Brunsell-02.jpeg" data-mid="149706423" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7773691ec71bf21951633b19ea6f9a1e8a5ff7c1db7d8006f4a0d04befb07277/Brunsell-02.jpeg" /> Hubbard House “We noticed remarkable buildings that were different, that for some reason really drew us in. They were odd and unexpected in the best way. After digging a little deeper, we found out that they were all Obie. You just can’t miss the geometries he is playing with.” —Tom Marble, AIA, from his introduction of Obie Bowman during the presentation of the 2022 Sea Distinguished Architect Award. Bowman’s long-held preoccupation with long, linear plans can be seen in numerous important residences, most notably his Hubbard House. Inspired not only by Wright and Kahn’s long plans, but also John Hejduk’s “wall house,” the Hubbard House unfolds over a long spine, favored by Bowman for how it allows for the experience of different aspects of a site as they stretch over dozens or even hundreds of feet from one end to the other as in the Tarp House. The spine becomes the main circulation corridor and creates an explicit choreography as the space unfolds, lined along the entire span on one wall by a floor-to-ceiling library constructed from exposed studs. Another Bowman signature, a bridge, provides access to the house over the steep driveway. <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bd359b14785e75469f865007c9ebe4f85be5dbe4d6f8ceb06335b943cdfb8a57/Hubbard-02.jpeg" data-mid="149706603" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bd359b14785e75469f865007c9ebe4f85be5dbe4d6f8ceb06335b943cdfb8a57/Hubbard-02.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3ea1a4a6adb2c84eb2fd13704010eb6d448981578d0235a383e9c04badbffc4/Hubbard-01.jpeg" data-mid="149706602" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3ea1a4a6adb2c84eb2fd13704010eb6d448981578d0235a383e9c04badbffc4/Hubbard-01.jpeg" /> https://tarphousesearanch.com/Page-3-Stay Sat, 30 Jul 2022 21:21:39 +0000 The Tarp House at the Sea Ranch https://tarphousesearanch.com/Page-3-Stay Stay Great architecture is as powerful an inspiration as any artwork.

design philosophies championed at the Sea Ranch and has been updated with contemporary art and furnishings from a range of internationally important artists and designers. Over 2,340 square feet, the Tarp House’s bold geometric forms cascade down the hill as a two-bedroom main house is connected by a bridge to a private studio suite that cantilevers out below the forest canopy behind a wall of glass. Throughout the house, dramatic skylights provide striking interior views while immersing the center of the house in light. The main house features a strikingly-designed and fully-outfitted period designer chef’s kitchen, which connects the separate dining room to expansive outdoor decks for outdoor dining or barbecues on the gas grill. Dedicated cooks will feel at home in the kitchen, lovingly preserved from the 1986 renovation and updated with brand new cookware, bakeware, appliances. The living room frames views out into the depths of the forest, and families and friends can gather around the fireplace, listen to music on the custom-designed vintage hi-fi system, or snuggle in with a book from the house’s extensive built-in library. The master bedroom features a luxurious king platform bed framed by a stunning architectural timber screen. A private walkway leads to a spectacular hot tub housed in its own cedar and glass pavilion. An additional bedroom and furnished loft area create ample sleeping space to accommodate families and groups of all sizes. Across the bridge from the main house, the secluded studio’s soaring timber ceiling and immersive floor-to-ceiling forest views create the feeling of waking up in the middle of the redwoods. The studio features a gym and Peloton bike for the most picturesque workouts imaginable, along with a full bath and separate entrance for additional privacy. (Guests who wish to use the Peloton can bring their own bike shoes and login credentials). Desks in the master bedroom and off the dining room provide multiple options for remote work, and the entire home is covered by a state of the art mesh network and blazing fast fiber-optic internet. Additional home essentials include a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Elegantly nestled into the forest in an architectural treasure filled with contemporary art and design, you'll feel worlds away from everything while enjoying easy nearby access to Sea Ranch beaches, dining, and the historic recreation centers. From this prime south Sea Ranch location, you will be walking distance from some of the most important early houses by MLTW and Joseph Esherick, as well as minutes away from taking in the heated pool and Supergraphics at the famed Moonraker Rec Center or enjoying dinner from a cliff-side view at the recently renovated Sea Ranch Lodge. Tarp House guests are also offered an exclusive guide to the art and architecture of The Sea Ranch prepared by contemporary art curators and architects.
