Anyone looking for an example of how to smartly integrate housing into a landscape, how to enforce sensible design covenants to preserve a bit of integrity without stifling creativity and individual expression, or really, just an example of an ass-kicking walking trail along a jaw-dropping stretch of the northern California coast need look no further than the Sea Ranch. With landscape design and the overall master plan by Lawrence Halprin and an ever changing collection of subtle, handsome houses by a range of architects. Hell, even the graphics are dialed. Smart and handsome, head to toe.
