Fire Resiliency Experience: Yes
Fire Resiliency Experience Details:
Studio Fang specializes in extreme fire resiliency for Southern California’s WUI zones. Following the 2025 Eaton Fire, the studio pioneered "smoke-tight" design, utilizing 0.6 ACH50 airtightness to protect indoor air quality from toxic particulates. Expertise includes Shou Sugi Ban (charred timber) for Class-A rated, carbon-sequestering skins and resource resilience, such as engineering pools into 20,000-gallon emergency water reserves. We combine Passive House science with defensive landscape strategies to build back right.
