Fire Rebuild

Altadena Craftsman

Otto worked with the homeowners, long-time Altadena residents, to rebuild the back house that had burned during the 2025 Eaton fire. The 1,000 square foot project was designed like-for-like and includes an additional 345 square feet of covered patio for ultimate indoor-outdoor living. After a streamlined custom-design process with the owners, Otto received permits in 36 days and completed the project in March 2026 - one of the first completed fire rebuilds.

The Existing Conditions

The Design Decisions

The project matches the Craftsman character with updated design features for both fire resistance and modern living. The new home features 9' ceilings throughout, concealed minisplits, and a local river rock base. We also used metal roofing, fire-resistant siding, and an unvented attic assembly to meet modern fire codes.
