The Experimental Ranch - Interior/Exterior

The 2360 sq ft Experimental Ranch was designed by Cliff May, the father of the ranch-house movement, as his personal home. It is often seen as an example of the evolution of ranch-style architecture. It features an open-plan space that can be divided by movable walls and cabinets. The main room contains the living area and kitchen, with a large ridge skylight that allows one to see the tree canopies above. Floor to ceiling windows also allow for expansive views to the outdoors.The house was recently restored by Marmol Radziner Architecture, re-establishing the open plan layout and preserving the integrity of the exposed wood beams and rafters.
