The Dani Ridge House is a 1 900 square meter large house in Big Sur, California. Mary Ann Gabriele Schicketanz was the project's architect. The intent was to create a house in a slope and conceal it from its uphill neighbors. It has a dramatic view of the Pacific.

- We decided to cut a wedge into the gentle hill side and tie the house to the hill and accommodate many functions (garage, laundry, powder room, pantry, mechanical room) underground. As a result the native meadow rolls onto the northern part of the house and ties the building, Carver + Schicketanz writes in a press release.
