We're grateful to partner with Passive House California, including PHCA member Avril Martin, founder of The Silver Lining Interior Design. Passive House California is dedicated to promoting the awareness, understanding, and application of the Passive House standard in the state of California.

The text is a quote from Avril Martin, member of Passive House California. "We want to honor the city's diverse architectural legacy while promoting fire-resistant, energy efficient rebuilding strategies that reflect the vernacular of the homes lost in the January fires. This approach not only preserves cultural identity but also sets a precedent for sustainable, community-focused reconstruction in fire-prone regions."
