Clara Jung and her husband, Sam Zun transformed a 1972 Kent Linn house at Sea Ranch with reverence, restraint, and bold color choices. The couple spent more than a decade renting Sea Ranch homes each New Year as a restorative ritual during fertility struggles and surrogacy journeys. The house reflects Sea Ranch vernacular through redwood cladding, geometric forms, sloped roofs, and expansive skylights responding to a forested site. The household is co-owned with another Bay Area couple under a 2021 pact, coordinated via a shared Google Calendar. Jung founded Banner Day Interiors after leaving corporate law.
"it's little surprise that Clara Jung and her husband, Sam Zun, found their own countercultural path there. For more than a decade, the Bay Area lawyers escaped to Sea Ranch rentals each New Year, a head-clearing ritual through fertility struggles, the surrogacy journeys that brought their two children into the world, and Jung's pivot from corporate law to interior design."
"Buying a home in the community was just as unorthodox: a co-ownership pact-sealed over wine in a Paris speakeasy in 2021-with another Bay Area couple, Jung's former design clients. "For how many lawyers are involved-three of us have JDs-it's surprisingly informal," Jung says. "It really just comes down to friendship and trust." A shared Google Calendar helps, keeping dates straight for each family's respective stays."
