San Diego artist and architectural designer James Hubbell built the award-winning Sea Ranch Chapel near Gualala, on the coast of California, USA.
The curving shape of Sea Ranch Chapel suggests a piece of driftwood tossed onto a rocky shore. The non-denominational chapel has stained glass inserts and mosaic tile floors. In 1985, the California Council of the American Institute of Architects awarded James Hubbell for this project and for his 30 years' work in design, sculpture, wood, glass, stone, and metal.
