Downton Shabby: How It Started

Coastal California offers the perfect backdrop for modern living — where ocean views, temperate weather, and an outdoor-centered lifestyle meet thoughtful modular design. Building here would mean creating a home that blurs the line between indoors and out, embracing light, landscape, and sustainability. It’s a place where every breeze and sunset remind us why we chose it.
