Phelan House

Unbuilt 2008 Del Mar, CA - This project got caught up in the 2008 crash in a big way. Previously spent 1.5 years successfully processing a Coastal Development Permit, then completed Construction Documents and permit processing, gaining Building Permit approvals. Fall of 2008 - Upon requesting a check to pay the permit fees and pull the permit, the financially savvy owner said; "I don't know about pulling the trigger on that kind of money with this crash shit going on". I couldn't agree with him more, it was weird times for sure. Project dead, for now. We came back later and did a version 2.0 which turned out awesome and should be photographed soon.
