Rebuilding on a fire-impacted site brings distinct challenges, from erosion control and hazardous material remediation to stringent fire codes and wildland-urban interface regulations. TECTA embraced these complexities, designing a hillside home that harmonizes with its natural surroundings while offering spacious, resilient living for a family that needs to rebuild, and needs to rebuild safely.
Fire-resistant materials and strategic site planning ensure compliance with safety standards, while the design prioritizes accessibility and adaptability, allowing the home to evolve gracefully for aging in place—realizing the client’s vision in every thoughtful detail.
