FOR SALE: Chapman Residence by Ken Kellogg
FOR SALE: Chapman Residence by Ken Kellogg
Following their wedding in 1969, artists Wayne & Barbara Chapman purchased a modest (circa-1960) tract home in the coastal village of Solana Beach. The young couple commissioned architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg — renowned for his organic, sculptural approach — to reimagine both the home and its surroundings, a property they had originally acquired for $10,900.
In a manner characteristic of Kellogg’s collaborations during the 1970s and ’80s, the architect provided the vision while Wayne Chapman took an active role in bringing it to life—managing construction and often working hands--on at the site. With the help of a close friend, Wayne sourced utility poles and thousands of board feet of rough-sawn redwood from a local Solana Beach supplier, materials that would become integral to the home’s distinctive character.
What began as a modest structure evolved into a dynamic, multi-level residence of light and volume, expanding into a series of bright, open living spaces, including Wayne’s ceramic studio. Kellogg’s unmistakable design language—most notably his sculptural fireplaces and fluid, nature-inspired forms—unfolds throughout the home, revealing itself in moments both subtle and dramatic, from the street-facing approach to the intimate interior details.
Arrival is an experience in itself. Visitors are guided through serene, Japanese-inspired gardens—lush, textural, and intentionally tranquil—before passing through hand-carved doors into a 3,900-square-foot tri-level composition of wood and glass. Now offered for the first time, the Chapman Residence presents far more than its ocean-view living room; it invites a fully immersive sensory experience, where shifting light, natural materials, and curated artistry engage sight, sound, and touch.
For decades, Wayne and Barbara Chapman lived and created here, surrounded by ceramics, textiles, and woodworking sourced from around the world—an environment shaped as much by artistic practice as by architectural intention. Today, the home stands as both a legacy and an opportunity, awaiting its next stewards—those who will not simply inhabit the space, but continue its story.
