Set on a narrow lot in the Altadena foothills, this one-story fire rebuild home is conceived as a quiet continuum rather than a replacement. The design moves horizontally, carefully proportioned to the site, allowing the house to breathe within its constraints while maintaining a strong relationship to the land. Material choices become the project’s memory—textures, tones, and finishes selected to echo the home that was lost, not through imitation, but through resonance. Grounded and deliberate, the architecture honors what came before while shaping a calm, resilient dwelling that settles gently into the foothills, holding both remembrance and renewal within its walls.
