Video: Reconstructing Topanga’s Heritage
The hillsides of Topanga have witnessed centuries of change, from indigenous stewardship to modern development. When fire swept through this property, the Miyamoto team approached the assessment with respect for both the land’s history and its future resilience.
Our assessment revealed that portions of the original foundation could be preserved, saving the homeowners significant costs in demolition and reconstruction. More importantly, this approach substantially reduces their rebuilding timeline.
As a consortium of expert engineers, architects, and contractors, we operate on a design-build approach that ensures on-budget, fire-resistant construction. Our integrated team provides seamless coordination from assessment through completion, optimizing both safety and efficiency.
This work continues daily throughout affected neighborhoods, reflecting our commitment to fast and on-budget recovery that respects both the technical requirements of fire-resistant construction and the enduring relationship between communities and the landscapes they inhabit.
