engineered materials, we ensure our homes are built to withstand the harsh coastal environment, standing the test of time in both form and function. This attention to detail not only enhances their value but also contributes to the unique charm of Coronado’ s neighborhoods.” Brian then explains how Flagg Coastal Homes’ style has evolved:“ Our project style is deeply rooted in the vision of our founder, John O’ Brien, and our residential designer, Dorian Lytle. John began his career as a developer
before transitioning to custom residential homes, drawing inspiration from his upbringing in the Northeast. His primary influences include the timeless architecture of Cape Cod and Nantucket, which he seamlessly blends with the historic charm of Coronado.
“ Dorian joined Flagg Coastal Homes about 15 years ago and has designed over 50 projects for the company, including the acclaimed 2014 Coastal Living Showhouse. Dorian’ s designs

These elements maximize the natural beauty and functionality of each home, creating spaces that reflect both Flagg Coastal Homes’ design legacy and the uniqueness of life in Coronado.”
Thoughtful design
Brian concludes by reflecting on the devastating effect of recent wildfires and what homebuilders can do to help mitigate events like this in the future:“ The wildfire situation continues to have a devastating impact on our Southern California community, touching all of us in personal ways. Many of us know someone who has experienced loss due to fires and high winds. Beyond the immediate destruction, wildfires blanket our neighborhoods in ash, disrupt our children’ s education, and limit our ability to go outdoors. Our hearts go out to all who have been affected by these tragic events.
“ As builders, there are proactive steps we can take to enhance safety and resilience in our projects. We prioritize the use of fire-rated roofing materials, non-combustible siding, and fire-resistant decking made from composite materials or treated wood. For added protection, we incorporate advanced systems and technology, including residential fire sprinkler systems, non-combustible insulation, and smart monitoring systems with smoke and heat sensors.
“ However, no measure is more important than emergency preparedness. Having evacuation plans and fire safety kits readily available can make all the difference in protecting lives during a wildfire. Together, through thoughtful design and planning, we can contribute to a safer, more resilient community.” ■
