Fire Rebuild
Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires. These tragedies in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena have left a profound impact on our community, and we share in your grief and loss. In this challenging time, we stand ready to help you rebuild—not just your home, but also your sense of safety and hope for the future.
The Palisades and Eaton fires have reminded us of the importance of resilience—both structural and emotional. As we rebuild together, our commitment extends beyond the individual homes we construct. We aim to strengthen the fabric of our community by providing homes that stand as symbols of renewal and hope.
A Commitment to Your Safety
Our team of architects and builders brings years of experience in creating homes that are not only beautiful but also safe and enduring. Whether it’s fire-resistant roofing, airtight construction, fire rated windows and doors, ventilation and filtration, state-of-the-art insulation, or defensible landscaping, we incorporate every detail with your safety in mind.
Rebuilding after such a loss is an emotional journey, and we are here to guide you through it with expertise and care. We specialize in designing and constructing high-performance homes that provide healthy, comfortable living environments while offering unmatched resilience to fire and smoke damage.


Fire Resilience:
Our homes are engineered to be five times more resistant to fire and smoke damage than traditional construction methods. Using advanced materials and technologies, we aim to mitigate risk and provide peace of mind.
Healthy Living Environments:
Indoor air quality and sustainable design are at the heart of our process. We create homes that support your well-being with features like non-toxic materials, superior ventilation systems, and energy-efficient designs.

If you’re ready to start rebuilding or want to learn more about our fire-resilient home designs, please reach out to us. Together, we can create a space where your family can thrive, no matter what challenges come your way.

Adapting Passive House Principles for Fire-Prone Areas
While Passive House principles prioritize energy efficiency, they can be adapted to address the unique challenges posed by wildfire-prone regions. Here are key design strategies to enhance both energy efficiency and wildfire resilience:
Fire-Resistant Materials
Use non-combustible materials like concrete, steel, and fiber cement siding for walls and roofing.
Incorporate fire-rated windows and doors with tempered glass to withstand extreme heat.
Apply intumescent coatings to structural elements for added fire protection.
Defensible Space
Design landscaping with wildfire safety in mind. Maintain a defensible space by clearing flammable vegetation within 30-100 feet of the home.
Use hardscaping elements like gravel pathways, stone patios, and fire-resistant plants to reduce fuel for fires.
Enhanced Airtightness
Airtight construction, a cornerstone of Passive House design, can also protect against the infiltration of smoke and embers during a wildfire.
Incorporate fire-resistant seals and gaskets in windows, doors, and vents to prevent ember intrusion.
Ventilation with Filtration
Install mechanical ventilation systems with HEPA filters to maintain indoor air quality during wildfire events.
Ensure that ventilation intakes are equipped with ember-resistant screens.
Thermal Envelope and Heat Resistance
Optimize the thermal envelope to reduce heat transfer, which can provide additional time for evacuation in case of a fire.
Use insulation materials with high fire-resistance ratings, such as mineral wool.
Energy Efficiency and Beyond
The beauty of Passive House design lies in its dual benefits: sustainability and comfort. Homes designed with these principles use up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling than conventional buildings. This efficiency not only reduces utility bills but also lowers greenhouse gas emissions, a critical step in mitigating climate change—a key driver of worsening wildfire conditions.
Moreover, Passive House homes maintain consistent indoor temperatures, even during power outages. In wildfire-prone areas where utility infrastructure is vulnerable, this thermal stability can be a lifesaving feature.
As wildfires become an increasingly common threat, integrating Passive House design elements into home construction offers a path forward. By combining energy efficiency with fire resilience, we can build homes that not only protect their occupants but also contribute to a more sustainable future. Homeowners, architects, and builders in fire-prone regions should consider adopting these principles to create spaces that are both safe and environmentally conscious. In a world facing climate change and escalating natural disasters, building smarter isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. For those rebuilding after the recent fires, we are here to help. Let us be a resource and a partner in designing and building a home that offers safety, sustainability, and a hopeful step toward the future.
