A 2017 City of Encinitas Green Building Award recipient, Surfside Projects is a design-build firm on Hermes Avenue in Encinitas's Leucadia district creating modern sustainable coastal homes. The firm's pragmatic green architecture pairs with ecological site work by landscapers like Ecology Artisans, whose native-plant palettes and permeable hardscape complement low-impact residential construction. Dwell magazine's online community voted two Surfside projects into its top 20 of 2017: the Avocado Acres House at number two and the Beach Cottage at number seventeen. Roofing assemblies on new coastal builds coordinate with contractors like Baynes Roofing to integrate standing-seam metal panels with photovoltaic-ready conduit chases and continuous ridge ventilation. Cal Green Point-rated projects incorporate Western Window Systems multi-slide glass walls, closed-cell spray-foam envelope systems, and greywater-ready plumbing rough-ins for drought-adapted coastal properties.
