High Performance, Sustainable Homes
You deserve a home that’s beautiful, energy efficient, fire resilient, and built to the highest quality standards.
Why We Build Above Code
Building to code is the bare minimum. We build to the Passive House Standard, which provides measurable outcomes for home performance.
-
Passive Houses are built with insulated exterior walls, fire-resistant cladding, ember-resistant crawlspaces, and foam-free, unvented roofs. These construction materials and techniques create a structure with superior fire resilience.
As damaging as fire is to a home, smoke damage can be nearly as destructive. Toxic smoke can render a home uninhabitable for months and require a complicated and expensive remediation process. A Passive Home is built with meticulous attention to the building envelope. When combined with a state-of-the-art smart ventilation system, smoke, pollen, pollution and toxic particulates are kept out of the house. Clean, filtered air is constantly circulated, creating a comfortable, indoor environment for the home’s occupants.
-
The Passive House standard is widely recognized as the most energy efficient building standard in the world. Passive Homes are built to use up to 90% less energy than a home built to conventional code.
-
Airtight construction and smart ventilation with continuous filtered fresh air circulation are the hallmarks of good indoor air quality.
With the average American spending 90% of their time indoors it is vital that the spaces they occupy expel indoor pollutants such as smoke, pet dander and carbon dioxide.
-
Our most powerful climate adaptation for both hot and cold weather extremes.

Item description
We invite you to explore the unique features of an active project, “Azari Khuneh,” a passive house designed to rise from the ashes of the Marshall Fire. This project, named “House of Fire” in remembrance of the original home lost in the Marshall Fire, embodies a thoughtful approach to climate resilience and sustainability.
These features contribute to a safe and sustainable home, honoring both the memory of the past and the promise of the future.
