Since 1969, Larry Willard has been continuing in the tradition of his father, Horace Willard, as a builder of fine homes. In his 26 years in the industry, Larry has built over 400 homes in the South County. His commitment to build a quality product from the ground up and one of enduring pride and appeal are part of his philosophy that he learned early on. In continuing the rich tradition that he has established, he welcomes you to Casablanca Collection.
Recapturing the style and craftsmanship from yesteryear, Casablanca Collection brings one back to an unforgettable era. Dramatic foothills surround the charming new community of beautiful homes, which feature the classic design reminiscent of the California Craftsman style. Porches, pedestal columns, gabled roofs and decorative roof beams reflect the design inspired by Charles and Henry Green of Pasadena in the early 1900's. The contemporary, intelligent and flexible use of space with a myriad of energy efficient amenities are more often found in semi-custom homes.
Upon touring Casablanca, one can appreciate the attention to detail given to the design of the entire development. Mr. Willard and his team of planners, architects and designers worked together to bring a sense of tradition back to the residential experience, focusing on the family in a neighborhood environment. This unique community combines the artform and craftsmanship from the 30's and 40's, while addressing the needs of today's homeowner.
Take a step back in time...
...and a step forward in quality and craftsmanship.
