FIRE RESILIENCE

Over the course of 40 years in this community, we have witnessed and endured environmental catastrophes from fires to debris flows that have followed. Much of our work and passion around sustainable building is tied to resiliency and building in a way that enables homes to better withstand natural disasters.

With recent fires increasing in both consistency and destruction, the importance of fire hardening and resilience is reaching critical levels. This page is meant to showcase examples of fire-resistant rebuilds, areas to focus on when creating fire-hardening plans, and resources for those who have been impacted in recent fires. We have partnered with clients and architects on over a hundred fire and debris flow rebuild projects and are here to help guide you through the process of rebuilding.
