Shopoff Residence
California Dreaming
The Golden State has its share of stunning beachfront properties, but this contemporary home situated in north Laguna Beach could be ranked among the best. For Cantoni designer Richard Bustos, the Emerald Bay residence represents a stunning collaborative assignment he’s proud to put in his portfolio. “It was an honor to work on a home of this caliber,” says Richard. “It’s unrivaled in the quality of its construction, design and amenities.” 
The clients, Bill and Cindy Shopoff, had arrived at our Irvine showroom one day after leaving Bill’s real estate investment office located down the street. They were looking for resources to help refurnish the 8,000 sq. ft. home, one of just 14 located on the beach, with 6 bedrooms, 8.5 baths and an unobstructed view of the Pacific.
Having previously shopped at our Dallas showroom, Bill and Cindy were fans of Cantoni but they had already retained an outside designer, Jami Martin. They were curious if this would pose a problem, but Cantoni has a long history of working with outside design professionals. In fact, Jami and Richard have great respect for one another.
“Jami and I have been doing business for years and have a wonderful working relationship,” Richard explains. “She’s super-talented and appreciates our Triple C service (Cantoni. Customer. Commitment.). She knows how serious we are about exceeding our client’s expectations.” As with our individual clients, other designers have come to value the services our in-house team can provide, including templates, elevations and 3-D renderings.
After a visit to the gorgeous residence, Richard and Jami met to discuss the fabrics, area rugs and lighting ideas she’d chosen so the two could determine the color scheme and product choices from Cantoni. We think the results speak beautifully for themselves.
From start to finish, this job took nearly two years. While not all design projects will be this big or lengthy (we’ve turned many in just days or weeks), we feel the scope of this job is telling. We’re proud to say we’ve been building and refining the business of creating custom home environments for 27 years, and we certainly plan to be here another 27. After all, Great Design Is a Way of Life.
