What we build now matters for all of us.

Designing a
new way forward.

The Eaton Fire was unimaginable—the lives, the landscapes, the loss. We're neighbors—it hits home. We're also designers, so we’ve built a process that honors the challenges and uses design to reimagine the community we love.

Conversations

You’ve had a thousand exhausting conversations—insurance, permits, what’s next. This one is different. We shape our early design conversations around seeing a path forward to rebuilding your life.

Aspirations

What do you hope to create? What will Altadena become as it rebuilds? This is a chance to shape not just a home, but a community. We help you see what’s possible through design.

Challenges

Rebuilding is full of unknowns, but we’ve done this before. We help you understand each challenge, weigh your options, and make decisions that keep your project on track.

Realities

Costs, labor, red tape—some things just are. After a fire, they’re even more complex. Our team has spent years navigating these realities, finding solutions, and keeping projects moving forward.

Follow-Through

We live here. Our clients are our neighbors, and their success is our success. Because after a fire, it’s not just about rebuilding a home—it’s about making Altadena stronger for all of us.

Altadena Rebuild
Case Study

Eric and Ann left that night expecting to return. By the next day, it was clear they wouldn’t. They began piecing together next steps—finding a rental in Eagle Rock, dealing with insurance, recalling what was lost, and having the same conversations so many others were having: Are you rebuilding? Are you staying? What comes next? Amidst the uncertainty, design became a way forward. We’ve worked closely with them to shape a home that brings light, warmth, and renewal—guiding them through planning, managing expectations, and ensuring each step leads toward something new. The process is about more than rebuilding—it’s about reimagining what home can be. And it’s coming together.
