Property Description

As the head of the architectural schools at MIT and the University of California at Berkeley Wurster helped shape an entire generation of architects. Most noted for his straight forward simplicity and keen attention to the site, Wurster’s work was always a response to human needs while emphasizing harmony with the environment.

The Voss House is unostentatious in style, respondent to the Big Sur climate and suited for California living. Wurster ideally oriented the residence to take in the dramatic Big Sur South Coast views. He once wrote, “Small matter in what you live, of great importance what you look at.”

Restored with the finest of materials, the Voss House is both informal in mood, yet sophisticated, direct in design yet subtle in scale and intimacy.
