About the competition:
The recent devastation of the Los Angeles wildfires challenges us, not just to rebuild, but also to innovate. Consequently, the Passive House Network with Passive House California is launching a design competition to develop a groundbreaking catalog of high-performance homes to inspire and inform the rebuilding efforts in the Altadena and Pacific Palisades communities.
We invite architects and designers to showcase the power of Passive House in creating sustainable, healthy, and diverse fire-resilient communities, in various styles that reflect the vibrancy of Los Angeles. Submit your designs and help shape the future of rebuilding. Qualifying designs will be collected and distributed in a catalog to raise awareness of Passive House rebuilding benefits and pathways to make it a reality.
