Magdalena showcases M1 studio

Magdalena Homes recently hosted an open house event to showcase the fully staged M1 studio, and the response from the Anderson Valley community—and beyond—was nothing short of inspiring.

From local residents to interested visitors from across California, guests toured the M1 and saw firsthand how it offers an elegant and practical response to the ongoing housing shortage. The model’s deck and wide French-style open doors created an inviting flow, allowing the home to host a large crowd comfortably. Guests lingered inside and out, enjoying the opportunity to socialize, connect, and imagine new possibilities for housing in the region.

What made the event truly special was the way it brought together all the stakeholders who are part of Magdalena’s mission. Current M1 residents shared their experiences with curious property owners and investors, sparking meaningful conversations about what it takes to create real housing solutions. These interactions showcased how Magdalena’s approach is not just about homes, but about building community and creating a model for others to follow.

The open house highlighted what makes Magdalena Homes unique: a collaborative effort that spans residents, property owners, investors, and local supporters—all working together to address housing needs in Anderson Valley. The M1 studio stood as both a practical solution and a symbol of what’s possible when communities unite around a shared vision.
