Baker House

AKA Sea Ranch Binker Barn
35292 Timber Ridge Road
The Sea Ranch
Built 1968

William Turnbull, Jr. designed this single-family residence to harmonize with the landscape. Its design is based on vernacular coastal barns and sheds. It is built of native materials.

The house won many architectural awards and became emblematic of the The Sea Ranch aesthetic. Its Shed Style was imitated throughout the country in the 1960s and 1970s for both residential and commercial buildings.

Baker House is located on private property and is not visible from the public right-of-way; however, when we photographed it in May 2022, it was available for rent on Airbnb.
