Cliff May Tracts

There is some debate over who popularized the “atomic ranch” style of single family home in the 1950s and 1960s. Without a doubt, Cliff May is in that conversation. His houses in Costa Mesa are oozing with midcentury flair, most predominantly his affinity for natural light. Bright and airy interiors further the notion of an indoor/outdoor lifestyle, ideal in the year-round sunshine along the California Coast. (2017)
