'Origen represents a huge leap outside our comfort zone. This was our first foray into vertical architecture and urban infill, and we challenged our team of design professionals to create something absolutely original in the marketplace. We're grateful for their contributions to the success of Origen and to the ultimate customer satisfaction expressed by our new homeowners.'

Designed by Michael L. Woodley's (at left) Woodley Architectural Group,  and with interiors by Design Line Interiors, this Origen community consists of 200 3 & 4 bedroom town homes spread over two distinct neighborhoods. The video below speaks of the Shea Homes features at one of the communities.

For Woodley's part, his firm works with some of the most respected builders in the United States. And Design Line Interiors not only has some of the most striking interior concepts we've seen, but as striking a website for visitors to grasp what they can do. Their client list reads like a 'who's who' of California developers.
