Continuing Story Poles in Southern California

It’s been another busy year working on Story Poles in the small beach towns of Southern California. In those communities, these temporary structures are erected to illustrated proposed construction forms. In the process, they demonstrate so much about the political nature of property, where sightlines carry tremendous value.

Below are some recent favorites.
