We’re rebuilding our home in Altadena after the Eaton Fire and are looking for the right builder to partner with.

This is a ground-up rebuild of a two-story single-family home with detached garage, designed as a cottage-inspired retreat, blending timeless architecture with a warm, nature-forward lifestyle.

We’ve included inspiration photos to capture the direction: rich exterior tones, natural materials, layered landscaping, and a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Project Scope:

* Main House: 2,557 SF (2-story)

* Garage: 600 SF

* Covered Patio + Front Porch included

* Located on a large lot with significant outdoor living potential

Design Direction

The home is designed to feel intimate, warm, and grounded in its environment, more retreat than production build.

* Steep gables, cottage-style massing, and natural textures

* Indoor-outdoor flow with covered patio + courtyard spaces

* Strong connection to landscape and garden experience

* Emphasis on natural light, openness, and livable spaces

The floor plan is well thought out, with:

* Open kitchen, dining, and living areas

* Dedicated family spaces and bedrooms on the main level

* Upper-level study / flex space overlooking below

* Functional flow for everyday living and entertaining

What We’re Looking For in a Builder

* Experience with ground-up custom homes

* Ability to execute detail-driven, design-forward builds

* Strong communication and project management

* Someone who understands this is not just a house, it’s a home with character and intention

We’re looking for a builder who wants to be part of creating something special and lasting, not just completing a scope.

If this aligns with your work, we’d love to connect and walk through the plans together.
