Renovating The Historic Russell Forester Building in La Jolla.
San Diego is home to some exceptional examples of mid-century architecture. Our team has had the privilege of working on properties designed by Thomas Shepherd, Homer Delawie, Sim Bruce Richards, and Russell Forester, to name a few.

Getting To Know Your Materials: Corten Steel
Corten is a beautiful building material that is featured in several of the homes that West Coast General Building Contractors have built and renovated. The signature mark of Corten steel is the protective oxide patina that gives it its rich brown color and prevents it from corrosion. From La Jolla to Rancho Santa Fe it aesthetically lends itself just as easily to modern architecture as it does to Spanish-style homes with its earthy hues that complement stucco and terracotta and lush landscapes as well.
