fab_01
a pre(fab)ricated home that's built to last.
A design-forward rebuild solution, harmonizing architectural integrity & systemized delivery.
Designed by Feldman Architecture in partnership with Blend Projects
The Origin
Blend Projects and Feldman Architecture first met when collaborating on a custom residence in Carmel Valley, pairing Feldman's site-sensitive design with Blend's off-site building system. Months into that work, the Eaton and Palisades fires devastated Altadena and the Pacific Palisades, destroying more than 16,000 homes.
What had begun as a single custom build became a larger question: could this partnership help thousands of displaced families find a path back to a design-forward home, without the years and unpredictable costs of a conventional rebuild?
fab_01 is the answer.
Designed for Altadena, now available across Canada & the United States.

Feasibility Study & Cost
Let's Talk Numbers
Every fab_01 project begins with a feasibility study based on your specific lot, site conditions, and local contractor pricing.
This allows us to build out a transparent budget based on your unique site, build, and project requirements based on local pricing.
The cost to build this pre-approved model in LA counts is approximately _____
These costs can vary significantly outside of this area, which is why a feasibility study is the key to this answer.
