A gorgeous 1953 californian ranch designed by Cliff May

 

Here is a 1953 ranch house at Montecito, California designed by Cliff May, considered the dean of modern ranch house architects. Its Y-shaped wings enclose an open patio, and in the rear, facing the mountain, are three more patios with walls. The veranda itself has become an outdoor room, with furniture groupings and plants moved against the walls. Large glass windows give a feeling of extra space to the one-story interior.
