      • Exciting Demonstration Eco-Communities and
      • Eco-Community Planning and Lifestyle Programs, Services and Resources as outreach support to people, organizations, corporations and communities who want to join the movement.

Winter 2003:

Recently published, “The Sea Ranch”, by Architect Donlyn Lyndon and Photographer Jim Alinder, features the Halley House

“One of several houses that follow a low rise in the land, the Halley House is recessed into the hill to take advantage of the earth’s thermal mass. Its roofs rise up in great slopes from close to the ground to a high crystaline solraium at the center. The roughly pyramidal shapes connect gently to the land; earth berms continue the transition. The polygonal wedges of the house are similar in spirit to those of the adjoining house to the south, creating a semblance of accord along the slope.” -Excerpt from Donlyn Lyndon’s and Jim Alinder’s book, “The Sea Ranch”.
