For nearly 40 years, Mickey Muennig has created architectural masterpieces within the majestic mountains of Big Sur. The 90-mile stretch of pristine California coastline known as Big Sur is home to a diverse population of rare and endangered plants and animals. Big Sur is also one of the few places in the US that hasn’t experienced the effects of industrialization.
The Big Sur Coastal Land Use Plan strictly governs development in this virtually untouched region of the Pacific coast; a stringent policy that requires archeological and geological reviews before building can begin. Muennig’s unique architectural style is ideal for the region.Rather than building on the land, Mickey Muennig builds with it.
His homes often become part of the steep cliff sides, partially hidden underground with blossoming green roofs disguising their interior luxury. Muennig enjoys using intriguing shapes and innovative materials. His creations feature spirals, domes, and eclectic furnishings formed out of stone, sod, local redwoods, and reclaimed supplies.
