Abalone Cove

On over four acres of coastal property in Big Sur, California, Sherwood is working with BAR Architects and Bernard Trainor + Associates, on a sustainably-oriented, 8,000 sf residence overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In addition to full-service Civil Engineering services, Sherwood developed a site-wide water management strategy to harvest and reuse shallow groundwater and rainwater to combat natural coastal erosion processes, and an onsite wastewater treatment strategy to reuse treated water for irrigation, matching waste and resource water streams to conserve water in this Mediterranean climate.
