Robin House in Santa Cruz
When the CZU Complex Fire swept through the Santa Cruz mountains in 2020, this blended family had to figure out how to rebuild their home. Working with B.PUBLIC's in-house designer JD, they developed a custom 3 bed, 3.5 bath design — 2,695 square feet tailored specifically to the family's needs. From first meeting to finished panel install was only six months, and the result is a home built for comfort and health as much as resilience and longevity.

💭 Homeowner testimonial:
“While building a home was never part of our plan or dream and we entered the process reluctantly, working with B.PUBLIC has become another step in our journey to living more sustainably through building a resilient and efficient home. We are excited to share our experience with our fellow fire families, and we hope B.PUBLIC’s expertise can support many others in coming home soon”
