The Assignment: This Pacific Palisades home is being rebuilt under the City’s “Like for Like” requirements: similar in size and siting, but entirely new in design and performance. The new design is slightly smaller than the former home and centers on spaces most important to the young family, including a large family room in place of a formal living room, a larger, more usable backyard, and a new pool and spa.
Currently: We are wrapping up final details and entering Construction Administration.
Sustainable Features: Beyond fire resilience, the home is significantly more efficient, with improved insulation using non-combustible mineral wool, a high-performance VRF HVAC system, and PV solar panels with battery backup for emergency power.
