Shoreline Inn

Shoreline Inn

Shoreline Inn | Cayucos, CA

Welcome to beachfront bliss here on the Central Coast! Here’s a project for visitors to the Inn to enjoy both during the day with scenic views of Morro Rock or after dark around one of three custom-designed fire pits. The main statement wall made of locally-sourced Cambria stone is curved to mimic the organic shapes of shore and waves. Madrone detailed everything from the partition walls, barbeque island, fire pits and seat walls to the beach pebbles and planted areas. Materials such as composite wood, colored beach pebbles and pavers were selected for their durability as well as beauty. Ample landscape lighting further makes the space inviting as the sun sets on a truly gorgeous location.

Halter Ranch Vineyard

Halter Ranch Vineyard

Halter Ranch Vineyard | Paso Robles, CA

Set in a historic farmland setting, Halter Ranch Vineyard can be identified by its beautifully restored 1880s farmhouse, just off Adelaida Road.The landscape blends the historic orchards and heritage oaks with plantings of eclectic Mediterranean and California native drifts of color and texture.

The setting is elegant, relaxed and reminiscent of older, simpler times. The new tasting room reflects this same essence, with flecks of a fresh, more youthful appearance. Both areas are the perfect spot to bring a picnic, share a bottle of phenomenal wine, and spend the afternoon soaking up the Paso Robles sunshine.
