We're building a new town

in the fir and pine forest of Northern California coast-several square miles of open meadows, streams and heavily wooded hills. Deer, fish, birds and squirrels are part of a rich wildlife community. The area has ample rainfall, little or no snow, and comfortably warm and sunny summers cooled by breezes from the nearby ocean. 

Hundreds of acres are preserved for common use-canyons, meadows, rugged wild areas, town greens and plazas, and miles of trails-adjoining all private holdings large and small. 

The design is the re-integration of town and natural environments. Population and construction are limited organically by the nature of the site. Thorough recycling is a community function. A wide spectrum of local transportation replaces the automobile: horseback, bicycling, walking and a quiet radio minibus system-all made easier by a community delivery service.
