Page 6 The office at Hayes, Inc. sits with doors open and the Arcadia sun peaking in. La Grande Orange is in view, Dylan’s Salon rests next door, and Postino is just a hop and a skip away. Cathy Hayes has settled perfectly between some of Arcadia’s most beloved shops, restaurants and people. And for good reason. Hayes and her architectural talent, fit right in. After starting her own architectural studio in 1993, Hayes began working with restaurateurs to design the eating space for some of Arcadia’s most popular restaurants. With LGO as her starting point, Hayes has gone on to create such area hotspots as Culinary Dropout, Arrogant Butcher, Revo Burrito and Delux Burger. Recently completing the new sushi area of Delux, Hayes proves she’s dedicated to developing a gathering spot for Arcadia residents to enjoy some of the cities most delicious food. Not only does Hayes’ talent prove to be great for restaurants, The Sanctuary Hotel, The Valley Ho and a variety of Arcadia homes have had her skill and vision brought to them, as well. Now, in an entirely new experience, Hayes has used her imagination to bring beauty to an Encinitas, CA trailer park. Two years ago, while taking a trip to San Diego and staying in one of her favorite spots, Encinitas, a beach community in North County, Hayes came across something that sparked her creativity. “I saw these small communities. They were trailer parks, just miles from the beach with about 30-trailers,” said Hayes. “I was curious about these small homes and the people who lived there.” Hayes did a bit of research and discovered one was for sale. The trailer was in desperate need of repair but the concept of a small home, just miles from the water, intrigued the designer. “It was a motor-vehicle transaction, not a home sale,” said Hayes. “It cost far less than buying a large beach side home and would require less maintenance.” Hayes returned to Arizona with her mind racing. She needed a plan to renovate her summer getaway. “I went to a local manufactured home company and had them create a home from scratch. It took 10 days,” said Hayes. She then returned to Encinitas, had the current home removed, the ground irrigated, termite work done and other small maintenance completed. Her new home was brought in from Arizona and placed on her property that she pays the park $1,000 a month to rent, right on Beacon Beach. The home now has Cathy Hayes flare. The inside has been slightly reconstructed to contain design elements she loves and the appearance she desires. A small porch and a planned patio balcony, make the small home no longer a trailer but a beach getaway. Hayes recently purchased another trailer and has placed the new manufactured home on the property. She’s planning to sell this home, creating a summer getaway for another lucky soul. Hayes’ neighbors in this 30-trailer community are classical musicians, writers and educators. She’s found herself surrounded by new friends and beauty. “This decision has been a great lifestyle choice. It has been amazing,” said Hayes.
