{"product_id":"ranch-houses-living-california-dream","title":"Ranch Houses: Living the California Dream","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.\t\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e 240 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli; 1st Edition edition (April 7 2009)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847831825\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 978-0847831821\u003c\/p\u003e                                                                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e    Product Dimensions:     \u003c\/b\u003e    9.3 x 1.2 x 11.3 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.4 pounds \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Architecture","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":30800587358296,"sku":"847831825","price":55.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/6217\/4808\/products\/61ryGwTy9LL.jpg?v=1570952617","url":"https:\/\/socialskills21.myshopify.com\/products\/ranch-houses-living-california-dream","provider":"socialskills21","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
