Louisa Smith - Hillside Lots
Lou Smith is a fourth generation Californian, who was born and raised in Long Beach. In 1976, after attending City College, she moved to the Central Coast to attend Cal Poly. In 1978, she moved to Cayucos, finished her degree in Architecture in 1979, and started her professional career. By 1988, she had her own business, and in 1990 she was the only practicing female architect in SLO County. Lou raised her daughter in town and has been involved in a variety of community organizations through the years.
In 2005, Lou joined the CLC board. Her main focus is the purchase of the hillside lot parcels.
As an avid hiker, Lou believes in the importance of open space. And also as a practicing architect, she believes in growth, and that development can be accomplished successfully when good planning is implemented. Cayucos Land Conservancy is an organization much in line with Lou’s philosophy. She feels blessed to live in this special place.
