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 later, 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 provide a solution for displaced families in search of a path to a design forward home, without the yeasr and unpredictable costs of a conventional rebuild?
fab_01 is the answer.
Designed for Altadena, now available across Canada & the United States.
