Distinctive architectural design across Santa Cruz County. Coastal properties, redwood retreats, and community buildings that celebrate Santa Cruz character while respecting natural resources.
Santa Cruz County's coastal character—beach communities, redwood forests, university presence, and strong environmental consciousness—shapes its architectural landscape. Nearly all development falls within Coastal Commission jurisdiction, requiring careful navigation of protective regulations while creating buildings that celebrate coastal living. Our Santa Cruz County practice balances development constraints with design opportunities, creating buildings responsive to the coast's natural beauty, microclimate variations, and community values. Projects address Coastal Commission review, environmental constraints including sensitive habitats and geologic hazards, strict resource protection standards, and local community character in diverse areas from Santa Cruz city to agricultural Watsonville.
