Since March of 2020, Electric Bowery Principal Cayley Lambur and her young family have taken up residence in Big Sur, CA, bringing new life to this Mickey Muennig gem. The property is a collection of structures and gardens that have all been uniquely upgraded to accommodate regular gatherings of extended family and friends, offering guests the quintessential Big Sur laid back coastal retreat experience.
The main house has been restored and updated to celebrate connection to the outdoors, local organic materials, and elevated yet informal furnishings and details.
The custom curved channel-tufted sofa was designed to hug views into the canyon, accompanied by a custom-designed oversized claro walnut coffee table by Dusk. Select vintage pieces are spread throughout the house and surround the main hearth.
The renovation of the existing main house required a thoughtful reconfiguration of spaces internally, including the custom kitchen, which was meticulously designed within the existing small footprint to maximize work surfaces, celebrate framed views of the gardens and ocean beyond, and minimize distraction.
A warm and earthy palette is carried through the home, layering textures and natural materials, old & new.
Custom designed beds and floating desk nooks of mixed wood materials are styled with personal and found objects.
The consistent use of redwood paneling throughout the home offers the experience of bringing the outside inwards, contrasted and complemented by the incorporation of color through art, tile and textiles.
A trailer on the property was restored and renovated to accommodate additional guest quarters, and further modified to create an office space outside of the main house for remote work.
