California Coastal Seaside Living from Sea Ranch to San Diego

<div><p><b>California Coastal style combines the most beautiful and livable aspects of modern, rustic, cottage, and coastal design to showcase the California dream.</b></p><p>California style comes to full fruition in today’s coastal homes. Whether a new build or renovation, the homes are all about easy, comfortable living with the focus on the outdoors. The diverse range of projects are organized into three regions: Northern Coast, Central Coast, and Southern Coast. Architectural styles range from traditional to modern, with added variety in the form of rustic modern, small-format bungalow, and renovations of existing buildings.</p><p>The California Coast is an iconic landscape, one that has been imprinted on the collective psyche as a land of endless sunshine, pristine beaches, swaying palm trees, epic waves, and sinuous curving roads clinging to dramatic cliffs along a rugged coastline. Scenically rich and teeming with wildlife, California is also known for its laid-back, nature-forward, indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This is epitomized in the architecture and design of eighteen homes featured in the book, which speaks to the coastline’s special qualities—as well as its distinct hazards.</p><p>This selection of extraordinary West Coast homes offers inspiration and ideas and an armchair travel experience.</p></div>
