An ADU rebuild inspired by a viral sensation.

Mason Levy didn’t think the fires would reach his home — they were several miles from where he lived. So, he left for the day, only to come back to a home with just a fireplace standing. 

Amongst the destruction, Mason saw the viral home in the Palisades that was still standing after the wildfires. He contacted the architect, Greg Chasen. 

One of Greg’s main ingredients in fortifying that still-standing home: Firepoint. And it’s now a main ingredient in Mason’s rebuilt, hardened home.

What people from the project are saying.
