We want every home we create to feel as functional as it is beautiful for the future homeowner. That’s why we’re incredibly intentional with every renovation decision we make. Nothing is rushed.

We spend extensive time in pre-construction planning, refining layouts, revising details, and thoughtfully considering how every space will be lived in and experienced. Our goal is always to maximize the home’s potential while creating a layout that feels effortless, functional, and timeless.

One of the biggest transformations at 329 Calle Pescador was the addition of a nearly 600-square-foot deck overlooking (swipe to the second pic to see a before shot of the same space).

It was a significant engineering undertaking that required considerable time, planning, and investment, but in a place like San Clemente—known for having one of the best climates in the world—we believe outdoor living is just as important as indoor living.

The result is an expansive outdoor space that functions as an extension of the home, with room for dining, lounging, and entertaining while enjoying panoramic views of Dana Point Harbor, Catalina Island, the Pacific Ocean, and, of course, San Clemente’s most iconic landmark: the iconic Denny’s sign. The added living space came at a substantial cost, but standing on that deck at sunset, we’d say it was worth every penny. What do you think?

We thought we’d be celebrating our first week on the market, but instead we’re celebrating the close of escrow.

This house broke records across the board!

Closing at nearly $1,750 per square foot, we surpassed the next-highest sale by more than $100 per square foot. At $3,775,000, it ranks among the top three highest sales ever across the entire Central San Clemente community (including Broadmoor) of more than 700 homes. On a price-per-square-foot basis, it stands alone. Proof that great things really do come in small packages.

329 Calle Pescador | 4 Beds | 3 Baths | 2158 SF | 600 SF Deck | Pool & Spa

This coveted single-level modern beach house sits tucked into the hills of San Clemente with more than 270° of sweeping Catalina and ocean views. Fully renovated and thoughtfully designed by Julia Genoway of with landscape design by Emma Vujnovich of , it embodies the best of coastal San Clemente living, just a short golf cart ride down to Del Mar and some of the best surf breaks in Orange County.

We’re especially excited for the new owner, who fell in love with both the home and the La Placa family before construction was even complete. Sometimes the right buyer finds the right house at exactly the right time.

As they say, it was meant to be.

Every single project goes through dozens upon dozens of revisions before we finalize the floor plan and send it to the architect. Fortunately, we have our founder, Gaetano, who can hand-sketch our ideas in real time as we refine the vision (swipe to see one of his sketches).

We just completed 329 Calle Pescador in San Clemente, and my favorite detail might just be the laundry room. In a 2,158 SF home, carving out space for a true laundry room is no easy task, but thoughtful layout decisions—like turning the passthrough from the garage to the great room into a functional laundry space—make a home live so much larger than its square footage.

My other favorite feature is this massive 12' island! Perfect space for entertaining.

There are just 15 homes with pools currently for sale in San Clemente… but only one has a front yard pool (swipe to see the before). 🌊☀️💦

329 Calle Pescador sold before we even had time to finish it, so this house is spoken for, but we're always working on something special!

Small doesn’t mean a smaller budget or a lighter scope of work. Even our most compact builds—like this 800 SF ADU we’re developing in Azusa—are executed with the same La Placa standards, just in a more efficient footprint.

Take a tour of our San Clemente project with Gaetano who founded the company in 1984. His values from back then still shape everything we do today. Build with integrity and treat every project like it’s your own home.

Functional layouts. Thoughtful design. Exceptional quality. 🔨

They don't make 'em like they used to (and that goes for houses and Gaetano).

You can’t rush perfection. ✨

13 months ago, we walked this San Clemente property for the very first time with our team (swipe to see a before shot of the kitchen corner shown in the second pic). Next week, we’ll walk it one final time before staging, photos, and bringing it live to the market.

Every detail matters to us, which is why every person on our team has the opportunity to share their perspective, observations, and expertise throughout the process. We know the best results come from collaboration, and this home is a reflection of that.

Nothing tells the story quite like a before & after ✨

A little throwback to one of our favorite transformations—819 Calle Vallarta in San Clemente, which sold for $2,125,000.

Even a year and a half later, this one still stands out.

And if you missed it, don’t worry… we’ve got three new projects currently in the works in South Orange County, including two with sweeping ocean views.
