About the Book & Signing Event

Launched this summer, California Coastal is the latest design & architecture book coauthored by the brand strategy duo behind True North Creative Studio.

Join us July 23rd at the Summer Soirée and Book Signing, hosted at the newly opened JOHI Showroom, to celebrate their chronicle of eighteen seaside homes from Sea Ranch to San Diego.

“In addition to providing valuable insight into how architects conceive their designs, the authors demonstrate the transformative effect that one statement piece can have on a room….Connoisseurs of high-end design will find much to savor.” — Publishers Weekly

Featured in the book is one of Santa Cruz's own: Bohemian Surf House.
With architecture by Feldman Architecture, interior design by Commune Design, and build by True Build Construction, there is so much beauty to appreciate about the goals and outcome of the project.

California Coastal style combines the most beautiful and livable aspects of modern, rustic, cottage, and coastal design to showcase the California dream.

Product Details

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.

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.

This selection of extraordinary West Coast homes offers inspiration and ideas and an armchair travel experience.
