How we use it
Mariposa Complex at 385 Mariposa St in Altadena is our post-fire rebuild after the Eaton Fire. Built on SB 1123, it places three homes along a shared driveway, each with an attached ground-floor ADU. It won the 2026 AIA Pasadena & Foothill Rebuild Design Award for The Most Collaborative Process.
