ADU Design in Santa Cruz, CA
A coastal college town anchored by UC Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz blends a beachfront tourism economy (the Boardwalk, wharf, surf industry) with a growing tech and biotech presence spilling over from Silicon Valley. Marine climate, steep Santa Cruz Mountain hillsides, the San Gregorio–Zayante fault system, and strict coastal regulations define its project landscape.
