Curious if there is a clean 1-octave down project out there? Basically looking for a lowrider minus the up and double octave down options :)
Any such thing out there?

There are very few clean octave down.
You may want to look at this http://www.diystompboxes.com/analogalchemy/sch/shocktave.html
Its not totally clean but tracking is very good

Merlin Blencowe's U-boat is the best analog octave down I've ever heard:

Is it possible you're just looking for the Boss Octave pedal? I think they can be had pretty cheap used. They sound great from my recollection. Perhaps there's a schem out there.

No a customer wants a simple one octave down custom build. I am exploring options for him. If not cost effective enough I will recommend he just pick up a boss. thanks.

Yep the Uboat sounds fantastic from what I've heard of it.
I started doing a layout for it, but haven't got round to finishing it yet.

I am impressed with the uboat as well. Somehow it slipped my attention.
I have some space on my next prototype panel. Lets see if i can shrink it to a decent size.

I did a layout for in Eagle and had some boards fabbed via OSH Park. Still debugging it though...

My try on the U-Boat.
Looking good but it was not easy to fit on a 50mmx50mm board.
Version with true bypass. Will be on my next proto-run.
