B.Public Prefab and Passive House BB Announce Collaboration to Deliver Pre-Designed Passive House Plans for LA Fire Rebuild Effort and Beyond
Los Angeles, CA — B.PUBLIC Prefab is proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with Bronwyn Barry of Passive House BB to offer pre-designed Passive House-standard home plans tailored for families rebuilding after the devastating Los Angeles wildfires—and for climate-conscious homeowners everywhere. This innovative partnership launches with the debut of SustAIN HAUS, a new high-performance home honoring architectural master Gregory Ain and the iconic Case Study homes lost to the fires.
Combining Passive House BB’s leadership in ultra-low energy design with BPublic Prefab’s streamlined prefab delivery system, this initiative addresses urgent housing needs while setting a new standard for sustainable, resilient architecture in fire-prone regions.
“Our COLLAB with Bronwyn Barry brings together decades of innovation in performance architecture and prefabrication,” said Edie Dillman, founder of B.PUBLIC Prefab. “SustAIN HAUS is not just a house—it’s a model for flexible resilience, beauty, and climate leadership.”
“Passive House BB [phBB] is delighted to launch our Collab with long-time friends and fellow Passivhaus pioneers, B.PUBLIC Prefab. We’re super excited to finally leverage the speed and scalability of prefabrication to expand our delivery of moderately priced Passive House homes. Keep an eye out for our upcoming designs. We’ll be highlighting California’s rich architectural vernacular while baking in all the quality detailing and performance requirements to easily make them all certified Passive House.”
These pre-designed plans are available now for families rebuilding after fire loss, as well as for municipalities, developers, and individual homeowners seeking to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on design integrity or comfort. A full portfolio of homes will be released this spring including KraftHAUS (a classic California bungalow) and KraftHAUS Modern.
