We at Nest Architecture are deeply saddened by the devastating wildfires that have impacted the Greater Los Angeles area over the past few weeks. The destruction of homes, livelihoods and cherished spaces has left a profound and immeasurable mark on our community. Our thoughts are with all who have suffered losses; we are inspired by the resilience and bravery shown by first responders, neighbors and volunteers during this tragedy.

As architects, we understand the vital role that homes and public spaces play in providing safety and connection; the sooner neighborhoods can be rebuilt and those affected can get back into their homes, the better. In the aftermath of the Los Angeles fires, we are committed to keeping up to date on the latest guidelines coming out of the state and local municipalities and sharing useful links on our website.  Through collaboration with the cities of Malibu and Los Angeles, L.A. County and other experts in the construction and development fields, we are determined to keep you updated on the proposed rebuilding process and timelines. We continue to better understand how wind-blown wildfires ignite structures and endeavor to design buildings and gardens within Fire Hazard Zones that are as fire resistant as practical, sustainable, and reflective of Los Angeles’ enduring spirit.

To those affected, please know that you are not alone - we stand ready to offer our expertise and support as our city begins to heal and rebuild.

Sincerely,

Nest Architecture, Inc.
