{"product_id":"ranch-houses-isbn-9780847831821","title":"Ranch Houses","description":"With its archetypal open plan and reverence of indoor-outdoor living, the Ranch house is at the very heart of the California dream. When we picture California Ranch houses—the low-slung, informal dwellings that engulfed suburbs after World War II—we are thinking of just one part of a phenomenon that has its roots in early-nineteenth-century ranchos, and which continues today in houses that are startling and up-to-the-minute. Examples of the type have been called ranchos, ranchers, and California ramblers. They have been styled Spanish, Japanese, and French; Monterey and International; Vernacular, Minimalist, and Modernist. From the 1797 Rancho Los Alamitos of Long Beach to such contemporary homes as the Miller Residence of Corte Madera, Ranch Houses unveils the great variety and the very finest examples of this multifaceted form.  Including the work of such architectural luminaries as Cliff May, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and Charles Moore, Ranch Houses is an essential resource for architects, home owners, and all those who aspire to the indoor\/outdoor lifestyle that is the California Dream.\u003cb\u003eTwenty-Six California Ranch Houses\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRancho Los Alamitos\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLong Beach, 1797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRancho Camulos\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePiru, 1853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRancho San Julian\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSanta Barbara County, 1878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill Rogers Ranch\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePacific Palisades, 1927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKing Gillette Ranch\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMalibu Canyon, 1928\u003cbr\u003eWallace Neff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoper Residence\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSan Diego, 1933\u003cbr\u003eCliff May\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaufmann House\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePalm Springs, 1946\u003cbr\u003eRichard Neutra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSinatra House, “Twin Palms”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePalm Springs, 1947\u003cbr\u003eE.
