conservation. community. culture.

The Santa Lucia Preserve is a 20,000 acre conservation community in Carmel Valley, California. L Studio worked with the founding group of the Preserve to create communications materials, advertising and direct mail campaigns, a project website and real estate collateral to help sell the last of the 300 homesites and transition the community to the homeowners. This last year, L Studio was engaged by the homeowners to help revitalize the brand of the Preserve and create a communications framework based on the founding vision and values of the community. L Studio led the effort to publish the story through a series of articles in the Preserve magazine.
