Santa Rosa Residential

Crafting Resilience: Expert Engineering and Custom Home Design
Following the devastation of the 2017 Santa Rosa fire, our team worked closely with the client to start the restoration, salvaging what remained of the property. Collaborating closely with Skyfarm Construction, we navigated complexities and devised cost-effective solutions, ensuring both quality and affordability.

The residence, seamlessly integrated into the natural grade, presented unique challenges, including the incorporation of a four-tiered main floor and the utilization of prefabricated roof trusses for efficient construction.

A unique aspect of the project was the preservation and reinforcement of a 12-foot-deep retaining wall, damaged by the fire. Through meticulous planning and execution, we restored the wall to its former strength, enhancing its resilience for the future.

In every aspect of this project, from design to construction, we demonstrated our structural design creativity and innovation, which resulted in the successful completion of this single-family residence.
