What it is

Wikipedia · Condominium 1

Condominium 1 was the first unit in the Sea Ranch development in Sonoma County, California. Located on a coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the complex was designed by Charles W. Moore, Donlyn Lyndon, William Turnbull Jr. and Richard Whitaker of the MLTW partnership in 1963–1964, and was built by contractor Matthew Sylvia in 1965. The timber-framed structure has been described as one of the most significant architectural designs of the 1960s in California, and has received numerous awards.
