Surf House is a sensitive and thoughtful exploration of California’s coastal landscapes, its artists and craftspeople, and its iconic surfing culture. This book explores the design process and creation of Surf House through various content, including a profile of Sawyer, who sourced the home’s reclaimed Monterey cypress; an essay investigating the home’s art collection, featuring renowned California artists; and an essay from Architectural Digest providing an architectural and interior design perspective. The book investigates Santa Cruz as the birthplace of California’s legendary surf culture, situating the home within a broader geographical and cultural context. Renowned architectural and surf photographers capture the essence of design, surfing and place, appealing to a wide range of general interest audiences.
