mickey muennig : glass teepee big sur

Posted: November 13th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: art, places, the earth | No Comments »

Mickey Muennig‘s architecture is a common sight throughout the unforgettable Big Sur landscape. He designed many of the most striking residences along this coastline including the Esalen Baths and the Post Ranch Inn. This 16 sq foot glass teepee is where he lived for about 18 years as he worked on his larger home as well as his multitude of client projects. Beautiful. Check out some more of his work on Need Supply’s recent post.
