About Gus Costigan the architect & builder:  Master craftsman, Gus Costigan designed and built many homes in Rancho Santa Fe from the early 1970¹s to the early 80¹s. His old world, rustic style included redwood timbers, adobe bricks, fieldstone, heavy doors, glass, railroad ties, handcrafted beams & balustrades, and wrought iron fixtures. During his early years, he spent time in Marin County. His work remains an integral part of Mill Valley with its unique village design and mellow atmosphere. I salute Gus Costigan for creating so many different yet charming homes on the Ranch, each rich with hand-carved detail and natural elements.
