Sea Ranch Chapel

James Hubbell's unique Sea Ranch Chapel near Gualala, California

From Jackie Craven, About.com

Artist and architectural designer James Hubbell used wood, metal, and stained glass to sculpt the unique Sea Ranch Chapel near Gualala, on the coast of California, USA. 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.
