Local Know How

Laid Back Coastal Style With a Refined Finish

Cardiff by the Sea has a personality all its own, from the San Elijo Lagoon and Cardiff State Beach to the hillside streets named after great composers. Homes range from classic beach cottages to striking modern rebuilds with walls of glass facing the Pacific.

We design Cardiff installs to feel relaxed and refined at the same time: natural greenery, soft neutrals and warm white light that suit coastal architecture, with a tall designer tree placed to frame the ocean view in the main living space.

Salt air and onshore wind are part of life near the lagoon and the beach. Every exterior strand we install is outdoor rated and fastened with clips made for coastal conditions, and we return during the season if anything needs a refresh.
