Honored to be featured in CALIFORNIA COASTAL, a st Honored to be featured in CALIFORNIA COASTAL, a stunning new book by Heather Hebert and Chase Ewald, coming this June. Published by Gibbs Smith Books, this beautifully curated collection showcases remarkable homes that embody the essence of the California coast, exploring how architecture responds to its diverse landscapes. "The California coast is a living landscape, shaped by the ever-changing interplay of land and sea. Each stretch of shoreline has its own unique character—defined by its contours, climate, wildlife, and the people who have called it home. Our coast is a treasure to be celebrated, honored, and protected. As recent wildfires in Los Angeles have reminded us, this fragile ecosystem needs our care now more than ever." – @heathersandyhebert Pre-order now on Amazon or Bookshop.org to support local bookstores. #CaliforniaCoastal #CoastalLiving #ArchitectureLovers #PreserveTheCoast #Bookstagram #DesignInspiration #FieldArchitecture #CaliforniaCoastalBook #BigSur #BookRelease #ArchitectureBook #CaliforniaArchitecture #CAArchitecture #ResidentialArchitecture #CaliforniaCoast #NorthernCalifornia #CaliforniaBayArea #ArchitectureWriting #LandscapeWriting
The “tide wall” at Big Sur is a headboard comp The “tide wall” at Big Sur is a headboard comprised of 52 walnut slats, each shaped by the undulations of one week’s tides from the Pacific Ocean below. Carving the organic ebbs and flows of the tides into the wood reveals the unique grain of each piece. Together, they catch the evening glow, creating a spectacular light show that feels like the sun shimmering on the waves. 📷 @joefletcherphoto Construction: @dowbuilt @constructionbyhuntsbrothers #BigSur #design #BigSurHouse #fieldarchitecture #fieldarchca #sandow #interiordesignmag #interiordesign #coastalarchitecture #residentialarchitecture #californiacoast #northerncalifornia #outdoorliving #natureframed

Thank you, Mead Quin for our time together and the Thank you, Mead Quin for our time together and the wonderful Q&A in HAVEN. We appreciated the opportunity to visit some of work together and talk about our process of designing in the landscape. "MQ: How do you know when a design solution is right? JF: When we look at a project and we cannot imagine it any other way. The architecture creates a sense of interdependence with the land, and the land accepts the building."

Stretching over one hundred and twenty kilometers from Carmel to Gorda, this remarkable coastline sits five thousand feet below the Santa Lucia mountains. With its globally renowned natural landscape, Big Sur brings focus to the daily cycles of the land, demanding attention and surrender from all that exists within its dynamic environment.
